Can anyone tell me how to configure the LuaTeX in windows?
It depends: Are you using Plain, LaTeX, or ConTeXt? I only know something about luaTeX and ConTeXt; have no idea of the status of the other two.
I already download the binary for windows.
Make sure you got the latest version: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ I'm not sure if the one on http://luatex.org/ is up to date.
Is there any user manual for using LuaTeX.
http://luatex.org/documentation.html
I hope LuaTeX will become a better choice for typesetting persian texts than XeTeX.
Could you (offline if you prefer) explain why you are dissatisfied with XeTeX? I have never used it. As far as I know bidirectionality should be better in luatex because we use the aleph-omega extensions which are 1) much better than etex's -- used by XeTeX (I tested this some time ago) 2) tested reasonably well (late last year). A few bugs may remain of course but basic bidi is quite solid in luaTeX. But I'd like to know what your experiences are. One of the short-term goals of the luaTeX project is proper handling of Arabic script and we could use any information you have on the rules for the proper setting of Farsi. خدا حافظ Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
