With the latest packages this is no longer necessary. The example file processes fine for me, as for Kamal. To find out what needs updating, put \listfiles in the preamble (e.g., after \makeindex ) Then compare the list of package dates to those for what I'm using: viz. *File List* book.cls 2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class bk10.clo 2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option) fontspec.sty 2010/09/29 v2.1b Advanced font selection for XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX expl3.sty 2010/09/16 v2022 L3 Experimental code bundle wrapper l3names.sty 2010/09/26 v2048 L3 Experimental Naming Scheme for TeX Primitives etex.sty 1998/03/26 v2.0 eTeX basic definition package (PEB) l3basics.sty 2010/09/20 v2037 L3 Experimental basic definitions l3expan.sty 2010/09/20 v2037 L3 Experimental Argument Expansion module l3tl.sty 2010/09/21 v2040 L3 Experimental Token Lists l3intexpr.sty 2010/09/22 v2045 L3 Integer Expressions l3quark.sty 2010/09/20 v2036 L3 Experimental Quark Commands l3seq.sty 2010/03/29 v1879 L3 Experimental sequences and stacks l3toks.sty 2010/09/20 v2037 L3 Experimental Token Registers l3int.sty 2010/09/19 v2029 L3 Experimental Integer module l3prg.sty 2010/09/22 v2043 L3 Experimental control structures l3clist.sty 2010/09/20 v2037 L3 Experimental comma separated lists l3token.sty 2010/09/19 v2029 L3 Experimental token investigation and manipulation l3prop.sty 2010/03/21 v1857 L3 Experimental Property Lists l3msg.sty 2010/03/23 v1866 L3 Experimental LaTeX Messages module l3io.sty 2010/05/22 v1923 L3 Experimental i/o module l3skip.sty 2010/09/23 v2047 L3 Experimental skip registers l3box.sty 2010/09/26 v2048 L3 Experimental Box module l3keyval.sty 2010/04/11 v1890 L3 Experimental keyval processing l3keys.sty 2010/05/24 v1931 L3 Experimental key-value support l3precom.sty 2010/02/09 v1793 L3 Experimental precompilation module l3xref.sty 2010/02/09 v1786 L3 Experimental cross referencing l3file.sty 2010/03/21 v1853 L3 Experimental file loading l3fp.sty 2010/09/19 v2029 L3 Experimental floating-point operations l3luatex.sty 2010/07/18 v1985 L3 Experimental LuaTeX functions calc.sty 2007/08/22 v4.3 Infix arithmetic (KKT,FJ) xparse.sty 2010/05/23 v1927 Generic document command parser xkeyval.sty 2008/08/13 v2.6a package option processing (HA) xkeyval.tex 2008/08/13 v2.6a key=value parser (HA) fontspec-patches.sty 2010/09/29 v2.1b Advanced font selection for XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX fixltx2e.sty 2006/09/13 v1.1m fixes to LaTeX fontenc.sty eu1enc.def 2010/01/28 v0.1f Experimental Unicode font encodings eu1lmr.fd 2009/10/30 v1.6 Font defs for Latin Modern xunicode.sty 2010/05/18 v0.95 provides access to latin accents and many other characters in Unicode lower plane fontspec.cfg xltxtra.sty 2009/12/26 v0.5b Improvements for the "XeLaTeX" format ifxetex.sty 2009/01/23 v0.5 Provides ifxetex conditional metalogo.sty 2009/09/04 v0.11 Extended TeX logo macros graphicx.sty 1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) graphics.sty 2009/02/05 v1.0o Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) trig.sty 1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC) graphics.cfg 2010/04/23 v1.9 graphics configuration of TeX Live xetex.def 2009/11/22 v0.94 LaTeX color/graphics driver for XeTeX (RRM/JK) url.sty 2006/04/12 ver 3.3 Verb mode for urls, etc. amsmath.sty 2000/07/18 v2.13 AMS math features amstext.sty 2000/06/29 v2.01 amsgen.sty 1999/11/30 v2.0 amsbsy.sty 1999/11/29 v1.2d amsopn.sty 1999/12/14 v2.01 operator names makeidx.sty 2000/03/29 v1.0m Standard LaTeX package bidi.sty 2010/03/01 v1.0.4 <revision 202> Bidirectional typesetting in XeLaTeX footnote-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.4 footnote macros for bidi package loadingorder-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.1 making sure that bidi is the last package loaded amsmath-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.2 adaptations for amsmath package xltxtra-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.1 adaptations for xltxtra package graphicx-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.3 adaptations for graphicx package book-bidi.def 2010/03/01 v0.2 adaptations for standard book class test-arabe1.ind *********** Hope this helps, Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross Moore ross.mo...@mq.edu.au Mathematics Department office: E7A-419 Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
