Re: problem with Persian feature

[Mingranina Gingranina <mingranina@gmail.com>]

Dear Hans,
Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply. With your code the Persian part
disappears on my
system unless I insert the following two lines after \definefontfeature:
   \usemodule[simplefonts]
   \setmainfont[arial][feature=persian]

However the Persian characters still appears as isolated characters.

Thanks,
Mingranina
