[XeTeX] For those interested in Quranic Font (Neirizi Font)

[Jens Bakker]

Dear Vafa Khalighi,

Thank you very much for providing the link to this font. I have  
installed and tried it, and it seems to be very nice, but not  
complete, because the sequence "lam - ha' - gim - alif" seems not to  
work, as can be seen from the following example (the vertical row  
beneath the first sura):







The example of a text from the Coran - the first sura - does not come  
up to the requirements, because I have no idea how to access some  
special signs and characters necessary for typing Coranic texts (as it  
is for example provided - according to the manual - by arabxetex).

Dear Phillip Taylor,

I am also not a Muslim, but as far as I know there is no such thing  
like one Islamic law; I would suppose that the most Islamic scholars  
would not object if a non Muslim would type some Coranic text, if it  
is in an educational or scientific and not in a rediculing or  
disgracing context.


With best wishes and best regards,
Jens Bakker
