[XeTeX] Scheherazade not rendering properly with XeTeX

[John Was]

Hello  Adam

It should work (fingers crossed) if you put

\TeXXeTstate=1

before you type any Arabic, and you might also try putting \beginR before 
your Arabic and \endR \par after it.

I'm hoping to avoid Windows Vista altogether though I don't suppose things 
will get any easier with Windows 7...

Subject: [XeTeX] Scheherazade not rendering properly with XeTeX


Hello,

I am having trouble with a simple XeTeX document. When I run XeTeX
with the input below, I get a fine-looking line of connected Arabic.
If I change the commented line to select Scheherezade instead of
Lateef, the output I get includes a bunch of unconnected Arabic
letters, spaced closely together, with many glyphs different from my
(nonsensical) input. This is on Windows Vista, with both Scheherezade
and Lateef copied directly from their zip files into C:\Windows\Fonts

Any help appreciated. Thanks,
Adam

% begin file
%\font\sch="Scheherazade:script=arab" at 20pt
