Scribus + XeLaTeX = Arabic
أحد, 2008/04/06 - 00:49 — خالد
Scribus 1.3.5 (not released yet), has support for using TeX for text rendering via a special LaTeX frame.
I grabbed it from svn, built it, some quick configuration to use xelatex instead of pdflatex, and the result is the screenshot above :).
Now, I need to polish this and make a good configuration file for ArabXeTeX (that I'm using on top of XeTeX engine).

Hi, I am a palestinean trying to make an arabic flyer with Scrib
Can you help my by explaining in stepps (for idiots) how you got scribus to write arabic correctly? I need to make a flyer for the ibn rushd fund, and untill now I did the flyer in OOo in arabic but now want to print it, and the printshop is asking for CMYK not RGB (which is the only thing ooo can export)
How did you get Scribus to work with arabic?

You will need a complex LaTeX setup, and the result won't be worth the trouble. Alternatively, you can try http://itwadi.com/node/1120, it might give better results, depending on your requirements.

Any chance of writing a quick howto for configuring scribus ?

After trying to do some real typesetting, I found that the result is of poor quality and not that flexible, I can't find a use of it except for typing few Arabic words or short paragraph.

لسة عمرو النهاردا كان بيحثني أني أستكشف ازاي نخلي تخ يشتغل بالعربية، لأنه عاوز يعمل قوالب و ينشرهم و يروج لاستخدامهم في النشر بين المستخدمين العرب بدل ملفات ميكروقرد و كدا.
و أنا منتظر بفراغ صبر أن سكريبس يدعم العربية.
أنا أقترح نعمل الخطوات في عرض باوربوينت و ننشره في منتدى تبادل برامج، بس يكون باشتراك و كلمة سر :)
انت كمان :)
أنا بقالي فترة بلعب بلاتخ، صراحة ArabXeTeX مع XeTeX أفضل تجميعة لحد الآن، أنا حاليا بكتب كلمتين عنه. بعدها بقى نبدأ نعمل القولب العربي لأن ده مهم جدا (مثلا التواريخ بالعربي، الأعمدة تترتب من يمين لشمال وكده).
لاتخ بالعربي
Good News, Now you can get a very nice arabic documents with xelatex and xearabic... I made chages to some packages of miketex 2.8, and create a very useful package to write arabic with xelatex. you have just to add the following three lines to your code file (the .tex file) and xelatex it, that's all !!
I called this new package XeArabic, and it works with bidi...
\usepackage{xearabic} \settextfont[Scale=1.0]{Traditional Arabic} %or any other arabic font from windows ... \setlatintextfont[Scale=1]{Times New Roman} %or any other english fontYou can download it, after a few days, from the site
