Today an update for the package "texlive-bin" was issued by Arch Repository, and I think it was after I installed that update that my XePersian package broke. Now, I get a weird error when I try to compile the following simple document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\settextfont{XB Niloofar}
\شروع{نوشتار}
سلام این یک آزمون است.
\پایان{نوشتار}
which is basically the same as the following, but with XePersian aliases:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\settextfont{XB Niloofar}
\begin{document}
hello this is a test.
\end{document}
The error says:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.6 \شروع
{نوشتار}
And here is the log file generated by xelatex. The second example compiles just fine; but the first one, to which the enclosed log file belongs, is giving me troubles.
I suspect the problem is caused by some version inconsistency due to the update. But I can't find a way to get around that. I even tried downgrading "texlive-bin", which I suspected to be guilty for the inconsistency, but the problem persisted. No, I did not forget to run texhash afterwards.
Any ideas?
