Mr. Kew,
Now that my segmentation fault problem is fixed (many thanks to both
you and Adam Lindsay, and my apologies to everyone else for the slurry
of messages), I tried the Arabic.tex example with the (very small)
catalog of Arabic fonts I have.
The Arabic fonts shipped with OS X worked as expected and desired.
The fonts I have from elsewhere (Windows, for example) behave as
expected but not as desired: the proper letter is shown, but not the
proper glyph given the adjacent letter. I wrote "expected," because
this is what often happen in other applications; changing the font to
one of the Arabic fonts shipped with OS X fixes the problem.
Is there any way to solve this?
Regards,
Musa
