Dynamic Arabic Mathematical Fonts

چکیده
This contribution describes a font family designed to meet the requirements of typesetting mathematical documents in an Arabic presentation. Thus, not only is the text written in an Arabic alphabet-based script, but specific symbols are used and mathematical expressions also spread out from right to left. Actually, this font family consists of two components: an Arabic mathematical font and a dynamic font. The construction of this font family is a first step of a project aiming at providing a complete and homogeneous Arabic font family, in the OpenType format, respecting Arabic calligraphy rules.

ΩTimes and ΩHelvetica Fonts Under Development: Step One
ΩTimes and ΩHelvetica will be public domain virtual Timesand Helvetica-like fonts based upon real PostScript fonts, which we call “Glyph Containers”. They will contain all necessary characters for typesetting efficiently (that is, with TEX quality) in all languages and systems using the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and Tifinagh alphabets and their derivatives. All Unicode characters w...
متن کاملStretching letter and slanted-baseline formatting for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian with ditroff/ffortid and dynamic PostScript fonts
This paper describes an extension to ditroff/ffortid, a system for formatting bi-directional text in Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. The previous version of the system is able to format mixed left-to-right and rightto-left text using fonts with separated letters or with connecting letters and only connection stretching, achieved by repeating fixed-length baseline fillers. The latest extension adds ...
متن کاملArabic Font Recognition using Decision Trees Built from Common Words
We present an algorithm for a priori Arabic optical Font Recognition AFR . The basic idea is to recognize fonts of some common Arabic words. Once these fonts are known, they can be generalized to lines, paragraphs, or neighbor non-common words since these components of a textual material almost have the same font. A decision tree is our approach to recognize Arabic fonts. A set of 48 features i...
متن کاملContextual Typesetting of Mathematical Symbols Taking Care of Optical Scaling
Typesetting of mathematical formulae has conflicting requirements: on the one hand, optical scaling is a need for large symbols; in the other hand, large symbols are made of composite items that are neither easily nor nicely put together. In this paper it is shown that such large symbols should be computed at print time so that they reach the quality of metal typesetting. An implementation of s...
متن کاملBijlage 9 ArabTEX — Typesetting Arabic with Vowels and Ligatures
We present a TEX macro package for generating the arabic writing from a standardized ASCII input notation. It can handle partial or full vocalization, and generates automatically most of the common ligatures. There is limited support for Farsi, Urdu, and Pashto. ArabTEX is compatible with Plain TEX and also most LATEX environments; arabic and other material can be mixed freely. For special purp...
