Dear all,
I just read the thread started by Burak Emir about "Typesetting Arabic today", and tried to typeset the sample sent by Idris Samawi Hamid. One of the Arabic or Persian fonts that I have and LuaTeX can find is Nadeem (working on Mac OS X 10.5.3), but what I get after typesetting is the following attached PDF: all the characters are typeset with their isolated form. However typestting the same text with XeConTeXt or XeTeX gives a nice result.
May be the font is built with AAT tables and not OpenType, XeTeX supports AAT on mac but I don't think LuaTeX does.
This seem to be the answer, take a look at http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/Problems_with_Fonts#Problems_when_usi... Wolfgang
