Hi Ilda, Here is a sample file for writing Faarsi with XeConTeXt (that is XeTeX + ConTeXt). In principle one can also use ConTeXt-mkiv, that is ConTeXt with the LuaTeX engine, but at this point I have not been able to solve some problems with the Persian fonts available. Best regards: OK

i can look into it if i have samples + fonts + expected output a few remakrs concerning your test doc: \everypar={\setbox0=\lastbox \beginR \box0 } ^^ this is dangerous, either do this locally or use \EveryPar{...} otherwise you loose quite some functionality \font\title="X Kerman:script=arab" at 28pt \font\heading="X Kerman:script=arab" at 18pt \font\body="X Kerman:script=arab" at 10pt \body ^^^ don't use names for fonts that can conflict with existing macros ... \titlefont, \TitleFont etc are better choices \def\Hemi#1{% \start \beginR #1 \par \endR \stop} ^^ here you use a % to avoid a space \Hemi{ ای دل زجان گذر کن، تا جان جان ببینی } ^^ but here you introduce one (potentially, depends on the state tex's in) \stopnarrower \stoptext \endinput ^^ no endinput needed, since \stoptext ends the job already ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Hans, Thank your very much for your attention and your remarks about the sample Faarsi file I sent. Thanks also for your valuable time you spend on such questions from non experts… On 7 janv. 09, at 09:38, Hans Hagen wrote:
[…] i can look into it if i have samples + fonts + expected output
I uploaded a few fonts, as well as three sample tex files and the corresponding PDF outputs on http://www.kavian.fr/tex/mkiv-persian/ The files contain the same persian text with a few words in english in order to show how mkiv behaves wrongly compared with XeTeX and XeConTeXt (which are fine). It is possible that the fonts which are used are not totally compliant, but I don't see why XeTeX and XeConTeXt (that is XeTeX + ConTeXt mkii) give good outputs. To begin with, here are a couple of issues with mkiv: 1) When using "Arabic short vowels" such as U+064F (ARABIC DAMMA) U+0650 (ARABIC KASRA) U+0651 (ARABIC SHADDA) the ligatures between characters breaks down. For instance compare the typesetting of the following words in XeTeX, XeConTeXt and mkiv (actually, in mkiv, this wrong behavior depends also on the font…): مغان. مُغان. تولد. تَوّلد 2) With the font IranNastaliq, when in the midst of persian words one writes an english word, then the words after the english one are garbled in mkiv, while in XeTeX and XeConTeXt there is no such problem. With my best regards: OK

can you test this with the alpha from our website? this afternoon taco and i deduced some logic from fontforge (we're currently not sure if al info is save right/available, for instance it seems to be possible to selectively ignore marks in matches, but we have no font that uses that) also, fonts are rather picky to what features are turned on by default (and there is no info in the font about what is supposed to be on by default) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, I compiled a brand new version of LuaTeX from the SVN repository, having now LuaTeX revision 0, (LuaTeX date stamp 2009010808), ConTeXt version 2008.11.10 21:40, This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.32.0-2009010808, but the problem remains. Or have I misunderstood what you mean by "alpha from our ebsite"? Or is it that my ConTeXt version 2008.11.10 21:40 has to be updated? (The one I have is from the minimals on Contextgarden).

It is useful to have the latest luatex as well, but Hans was certainly talking about the context release: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/alpha/cont-tmf.zip Iirc, that alpha version is also usable via minimals, with a switch like --context-experimental or so (but I do not know exactly). Best wishes, Taco

Hi Taco, Thanks for the hint.

The true alpha (http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/alpha/cont-tmf.zip) is accessible via --context=alpha but Hans almost never uses/uploads it (so most of the time that one will resolve to beta or current if there is no beta). The version 'experimental' equals the 'taco' version, I think. (= The one that is being updated more frequently than you can download from the server.) Mojca

That's the one Otared needs. When Hans announces an alpha on the mailing list, it is that one.

Those are the ones on the private ftp site. A few people have access, but the code there usually only works for Hans and me ;-) Best wishes, Taco
Is it possible to import functionalities of XePersian into ConTeXt. Xepersian now is excellent in Persian typesetting and you can do all you want in Persian typography. but I hate LaTeX. its main author unfortunately is anti-ConTeXt.

No, Xepersian is a macro package for xelatex. MKIV is also excellent for
typesseting persian.

thanks. but this file looks like a textbook. it is too long. can not be shorter? I have not tried your sample but 1) will this produce farsi maths? (2) I want irani date, is it possible? (3) From otared samples, i can see that luatex can not handle fonts well, is the issue solved? 4) how footnote rules are? 5) can I make a farsi presentation?6) can I create farsi magazine? 7) does this work with beamer?

(1) what is farsi math ... what makes it special? (2) one can plug in converters (it might already be there) (3) it's not an luatex issue since it only provides the mechanisms, but afaik context/mkiv can do a reasonable job (4) i dunno, this is a layout issue and i cannot implement something specific if i have no specs (5) sure, not special about presentations (6) sure (7) no, because it's not latex anyhow, handling farsi boils down to: - fonts: these should work ok and if not, we can solve it given examples and fonts - layouts: you need to communicate that with idris since he's in charge of investigating specific features needed for r/l typesetting; it's mostly a configuration issue, but i can imagine some more r/l direction keys (in that respect i'd rather not talk about farsi but more in general terms of lr vs rl typesetting/layout) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
1) numbers in maths formula is Persian, possible? 2) is it hard to write a converter? 4) there are two footnote commands. one for persian and one for english. persian footnotes will be on left and persian footnotes on right. also if the first footnote in a page is persian, footnote rule is on the right and if first footnote is english, footnote rule is on left. who is idris?
In Luatex one can define font for math equations. So it is possible to have
persian numerals in math formulas. But for Jalali calendar we have to write
a macro (maybe Idris has done this). Font handling: currently luatex can not
handle IranNastliq font but other fonts are ok. About footnote rule:
\pagedir TRT makes everithing from right to left so the footnoterule is in
the right position; but for an automatic footnoterule I will do that via lua
in the future. Now I am very busy with the translation of "context an
excursion" and the persian interface.
The module is the one that I am using for the translation of "Context an
excursion" and it is suitable thought not complete.

footnote rule: \pagedir TRT makes everithing from right to left so the footnoterule is in the right position; but for an automatic footnoterule
footnotes will be done differently in mkiv so best wait with patching till we have the new structure code in place (which reminds me that we also need to store directional info with info that is traveling around] Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

The font is mentioned in the wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_fonts#Iran_Nastaliq so it could be a regression in the latest luatex. I cannot test myself because the font download link is broken... Best wishes, Taco

Found it (and we found the associated bug in font-otf.lua also).

luatex will have unicode math and then we can look into that (it does not make sense to do that in traditional tex math)
2) is it hard to write a converter?
no, it's done in core-con.lua etc
4) there are two footnote commands. one for persian and one for english. persian footnotes will be on left and persian footnotes on right. also if the first footnote in a page is persian, footnote rule is on the right and if first footnote is english, footnote rule is on left.
is that persian or general rl ?
