10.5 Arabic Content in PlanetPress Design Documents
Can I include Arabic content in a PlanetPress Design document?
Version 6 of the PlanetPress Suite provides you with two ways to add Arabic content to PlanetPress Design
documents. Static text as well as variable data can be added using both Text objects and PlanetPress Talk
objects.
You can use Text objects to display both static text and variable content, such as data selections, in the same
object. Text objects also let you mix Arabic and non-Arabic styles within the same object, although not in the
same paragraph.
Before you can create documents that contain Arabic text, you must have enabled the linguistic options
required for Arabic text. Refer to Windows documentation for more information on regional settings and
linguistic options.
To include objects that contain Arabic text, be it Text or PlanetPress Talk objects, your PlanetPress Design
document must have at least one Arabic style. Arabic styles must be associated with the font type ”TT, host,
Arabic” and with a Unicode font, such as Andalus or Arial.
Note that in some cases, Arabic characters included in the same word may not be correctly attached.
