[XeTeX] arabic

[Kamal Abdali]

With XeTeX, there seems less need of language-specific packages because the
characters of various alphabets can be directly typed. So this produces the
same output as Nathan's program:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\A[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.4,WordSpace=2]{Amiri} % Scheherazade

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{c c}
{\A
مثلث
} & {\A
١٢٣٤
}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
