hallo, arafat, have a look at "arabtex", if you do not know it already:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/TeX/languages/arabtex/arabtex.htm it is an excellent, free software, compatible with (La)TeX. what i like especially: the input uses ASCII . at first this sounds not so very good. but then the great thing comes (that is: for linguists like me at least): if you give the input with vowels etc. then you can decide afterwards with a single command whether the output should be in arabic script (if so: with vowels or without them) or in one of a choice of different scientific transcriptions. that is marvellous! even though arabtex is not exactly what you are after, still some lessons might be learned from it. thanks a lot for your efforts all the best petra -- Petra D�nges �bersetzungen aus dem Arabischen, Kinder- und Jugendliteratur Waldwiese 13 D-66123 Saarbr�cken www.petra-duenges.de _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
