Typing Arabic

Which font new Arabic text uses

First the font your PDF already uses for Arabic, even when only a few of its letters are embedded: MythosPDF loads the complete font and sets new letters in it. If the PDF has no Arabic font at all, it asks before adding an open Noto font for those letters, and tells you it did. Arabic is a shaped script, so each word is shaped with the full font before it is written, and the real letters are stored so the text stays searchable. Arabic is written right to left; the edited line keeps the direction of the text around it.

Questions people ask

+Can I edit equations?

Equations are drawn from many small pieces and are best changed in the source document.

+Can I make the file smaller for submission portals?

Yes. Compress PDF shrinks images and keeps text sharp.

+Can I write parts of the research paper in Arabic and parts in English?

Yes. Each language is set in the font the PDF uses for it, so a bilingual research paper keeps both fonts.
