PDF with a localized formula using a font with localized numerals
Description:
In many languages, one of the features of a non-English document which contains
math formulas is to use localized numbers.
For example, in Persian (Farsi) language, using such localized numerals is a
norm. But unfortunately many typesetting/office applications with the ability
to write and edit formulas can not provide localized numerals. Neither
LibreOffice, nor MS Word has such ability. On the other hand, LaTeX can do
that.
In LibreOffice and MS Word, people overcome this limitation by using special
fonts that has localized numerals in place of the normal western numerals. This
non-standard approach has its drawbacks.
This is a feature request to have localized numbers using standard fonts. It
should be possible to enable/disable this feature from "Tools > Options". Upon
enabling, localized numbers should be used according to the language of the
relevant context. For example, one may expect Persian numerals in a formula
that falls inside a Persian language context.
