Re: [docbook-apps] Ligatures in arabic script

[Radu Coravu <radu_coravu@sync.ro>]

Dear Kaes,

You might want to try setting the 'xml:lang="ar"' language attribute on 
the DocBook document root element. This might help the Apache FOP engine 
decides it's an arabic text. But do not expect that it would work 100%, 
support for Arabic in FOP is probably quite limited.
So if this will not work maybe you can try to use Antenna House instead.

Regards,
Radu
