Dear Adam --
I'm new to XeLaTex, but I've done some simple documents with Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew. Today, however, I tried one with some Armenian text but had no luck at all. Armenian seems not to be recognized. What am I missing?
I don't know ! I know next to nothing about XeTeX, Polyglossia and whatever, but using your file as a starting point, Jonathan's reply to another Armenian scholar (Tara Andrews) as reference [1], and finally using TeXdoc fontspec, I came up with the following : \documentclass {article} \usepackage {xltxtra, polyglossia} \usepackage {fontspec} \setdefaultlanguage {english} \newfontface \armfont [Script=armenian]{Arial Unicode MS} \def \ARMENIAN #1{{\armfont #1}} \begin {document} \title {Classical Armenian Sample Text} \author {Adam C. McCollum} \maketitle \ARMENIAN {Եւ երկիր էր աներևոյթ և անպատրաստ. և խաւար ի վերայ անդնդոց. և Հոգի Աստուծոյ շրջէր ի վերայ ջուրց:} \end{document} It may not be elegant, but it seems to work.
