Re: lyx in arabic or persian
Dear Artimess, you are right, but there is no http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Farsi and I dont think I have the privilege to make one. I just thought about it usages for similar alphabet nations under one name.

Re: lyx in arabic or persian
Thank you so much Stefano, mine is working
I installed texlive-lang-arabic
reconfigured lyx
then
1. Start LyX, then in Tools --> Preferences go to Language Settings and
select Language. Change *Command start* to *\selectlanguage{arabic}*, and
change *Language package* to Custom, and enter*
\usepackage[farsi,arabic]{babel}* in the provided textfield.
2. Still in Tools --> Preferences, go to Output and select LaTeX, then
change *Use LaTeX font encoding* to *LAE,LFE* in the provided textfield.
3. Still in Tools --> Preferences, go to Editing and under Keyboard/Mouse
check the *Use keyboard map* option and for *First* select farsi from the
*.kmap files that are shown when hitting the Browse button.
4. Hit the Save button in the Preferences window then restart LyX.
5. Once you've re-opened LyX, open a new document then go to Document -->
Settings, and under *Document Class* select *article (Arabic)* from the
list..
6. Still in Document --> Settings, go to Language and select *Arabic (Arab
TeX)* as the *Language*, then change *Encoding* to Other and select *Unicode
(utf8)* as the encoding, then select *None* for the*Language package*
option.
7. Hit the Apply button then close the Document Settings window
8. Now enter text in your document (which should be going from right to
left now), save the file as a LyX file, then select File --> Export --> PDF
(pdflatex). You should get a PDF with Arabic in it.
and now its working.
Thank you so much.

Re: lyx in arabic or persian
Thank you all for helping Yup, I installed the texlive-lang-arabic from mint package installer. arabic-article appeared in document after that I did as http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=268654 but I got a error while exporting pdf(flatex) Some characters of your document are probably not representable in the chosen encoding. Changing the document encoding to utf8 could help. My document encoding is unicode(utif8) what should I change? and for reporting this email to forum what should I do? thanks again On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:20 AM, Ibrahim El Merehbi wrote: > Actually upon further investigation, I found out: > > Tools > TeX Information > arabart.cls (is present) > > I "reconfigured" LyX & restarted it & there it was: Article[Arabic] > > BUT > > the problem that Scribus has is present in LyX. > > I am not sure which version it was, but I once tried writing in LyX in > Arabic & it worked well.
