I am trying to compare the results of Arabic typesetting between different TeX engines to decide the best one. Can anyone send a samplwe file for typesetting Arabic in Plain TeX over luatex where the alphabets are not isolated?
Currently, you can't do that unless: * Use OCP and type1 fonts, the only publicly available font (that I know of) is OmegaSerifArabic, which is not that atractive. * Typeset the plain TeX document with ConTeXt and use ConTeXt's OpenType layout capabilities, this will give you much better result but it is plain TeX+ not plain any more. If you sent me a sample Unicode encoded plain TeX file, I'll gladly try to typeset it either way for you. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team
