Has anybody experienced a problem with getting Arabic text to display correctly
in their scores? Here's a
snippet that contains properly formatted UTF-8 Arabic:
\score
{
\relative d'
{
c^\markup { "العربية" } d e f g^\markup { "english" } f e d
}
}
I was surprised when I built the snippet because although I get Arabic
characters, they are in the wrong
form. In Arabic, characters potentially have different forms depending on where
they fall in a word -
initial, medial and final forms. The Arabic word in the source above displays
correctly when viewed as
a UTF-8 encoding. However, when the snippet is compiled, only the initial form
of the Arabic characters
display, which is incorrect.
I'm saving the source as UTF-8, and Arabic characters do appear - just not he
correct ones. Is there
something I'm not telling Lilypond, or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Samir
