Hi,

i have tried the following Arabic text in Scribus, most of the characters coming correctly but some characters accents are not positioned properly


قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًۭا
لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا وَءَايَةًۭ مِّنكَ ۖ وَٱرْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ١١٤
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّى مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنكُمْ فَإِنِّى ٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابًۭا لَّا ٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١١٥


is there any possibility to fix this?

dunno, I thought the accents were part of the character in the font set?

it is a font issue, look for a better designed font.

Hi PatJr/AdmFubar,

Thanks for your responses.

AdmFubar, I have used Times New Roman, may you suggest any suitable fonts, because i am not aware of Arabic fonts?

Thanks,

Sorry I dont write in Arabic, so I wouldnt know a good one from a bad on. However Patjr's has pointed you to a resource. Check online if it for personal non commercial use, I'm sure you will find something suitable.
If you are doing commercial work, you may want to look into purchasing a suitable font.
There will be some trial and error in find a suitable font for your use.

Hi PatJr,

Thanks for your response.

Actual output should as first image "CorrectOutput.pdf". But all the Noto Arabic fonts mentioned are having accents issue as per the attached "Noto_Arabic.png".

way over my head
did you try using the font on LibreOffice or some other program?
font issue or program issue?
