Re: [MiKTeX] arabi package: fonts installation

[Loeghmon T. N. <loe...@gm...>]

Shuaib,

I have been trying to install MSfonts that came with the arabi package
too, with partial success at best. Will you able to outline the
procedure of installing and mapping MS fonts in Miktex-arabi, so that
I (and perhaps others) can use it in my installation, please? Thanks.
