<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">I'm no Arabist but was asked to set a short
passage from supplied Unicode input (which I think is correct: it shows
up properly in the ugly but essentially reliable Arial Unicode), and I find
that the resultant output has the letters given in their individual forms
instead of changing depending on context. So I presume I have to do more
than simply select a font that contains Unicode Arabic: can anyone advise
on what the correct procedure is? Do I have to give some sort of option
(introduced by a colon) after the fontname? I get the same result whether
I use Times New Roman or Scheherazade OpenType (the Windows TTF version) - and
also, interestingly, when I use Arial Unicode, though it shows up correctly in
that font in BabelPad.</FONT></DIV>

something simple I have to do. Apologies if that's the case!</FONT></DIV>
