Dear Adam --
I'm new to XeLaTex, but I've done some simple documents with Greek,
Arabic, and Hebrew. Today, however, I tried one with some Armenian text
but had no luck at all. Armenian seems not to be recognized. What am I
missing?
I don't know ! I know next to nothing about XeTeX, Polyglossia
and whatever, but using your file as a starting point, Jonathan's
reply to another Armenian scholar (Tara Andrews) as reference [1],
and finally using TeXdoc fontspec, I came up with the following :
\documentclass {article}
\usepackage {xltxtra, polyglossia}
\usepackage {fontspec}
\setdefaultlanguage {english}
\newfontface \armfont [Script=armenian]{Arial Unicode MS}
\def \ARMENIAN #1{{\armfont #1}}
\begin {document}
\title {Classical Armenian Sample Text}
\author {Adam C. McCollum}
\maketitle
\ARMENIAN {Եւ երկիր էր աներևոյթ և անպատրաստ. և խաւար ի վերայ անդնդոց. և Հոգի
Աստուծոյ շրջէր ի վերայ ջուրց:}
\end{document}
It may not be elegant, but it seems to work.
