This may sound duplicate question but i am really new to the TeX system. I have gone through following steps:
- Installed MiKTeX 2.9
- Installed WinEdt 9.0
- WinEdt automatically picked up Miktex and I was able to open sample TeX files
- Updated MiKTeX to download the
polyglossiapackage
Now I want to use Urdu in my document. I used the following example
%! xelatex mal-urdu.tex
% To download: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=Scheherazade#1fd0063a
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{urdu}
\newfontfamily\urdufont[Script=Arabic,Language=Urdu,Scale=1.5]{Amiri} % or
Scheherazade after installing the font
\begin{document}
Text before. \texturdu{ وہ کتاب ہے۔ میں جا رہا ہوں} Text after.
\end{document}
When I compile this file, I get the following errors
* XeTeX is required to compile this document
* Sorry
After selecting xelatex, I recieved the following error log
