Subject: Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2015 00:32:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <92A0BD0E-6BBF-4EE9-85BA-5B4F2EB3BBFF@fastmail.fm> (raw)
Dear all,
When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called “mashriqi”, or “Arabic-Indic”/“Arabic-Hindi” numerals. Is there some option when defining the font family? (I would have thought that using “\mainlanguage[arabic]” would have done it.) Of course, I am using a font that contains the numbers of that script.
Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they appear correctly. MWE below.
Best wishes,
Talal
