Bonjour,
Bonjour,
I recently came across an issue with polyglossia and sanskrit: when
you put
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit} a "\requirepackage{devanagaridigits} is
called which turns numbers in devanagari scipt.
Is there a way to avoid (or correct) this ie. I want to be able to get
numerals in latin script even if the text script is in devanagari.
You can change this via an option to polyglossia:
\setmainlanguage[numerals=western]{sanskrit}
or
\setmainlanguage[numerals=devanagari]{sanskrit}
Thank you for your answer but this does not work the option is accepted
but numerals remain in devanagari...
There is something which I don't understand in polyglossia doc: on page
52 we can read:
"For ← the conversion of counters, the starred version \localnumeral* is
provided. This takes a counter as argument. For instance in an Arabic
environment \localnumeral*{page} yields ٥٢"
but the number appears where the command is written not where the page
number is set!
If we put this command in the preamble, it becomes an unknown command.
PS2- Where can we see all the dependencies of a command ie. be aware
that \setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit} will require devanagaridigits for
instance.... I discovered this problem thanks to an error message
use xelatex (or xetex) with the -recorder option. This (and also in
other tex engines) will produce a *.fls file that lists all included
files. Compare the *.fls files before and after you added a command/option.
BTW is there an option to see what is the font file used in a
compilation, I mean the file and its location not only the name of the
file... I am confused with this because if I put Extension= .otf, in a
\newfontfamily command, I get a different ligature than the one obtained
without the extension and I don't have any .ttf accessible font!
Thank you again.
