I am trying to create a booklet in ancien Middle Eastern style, if possible in Memoir. I have some experience with Tex, but this is a pretty difficult thing to make.

The title page should look like this: enter image description here

In MS Word, I got this result, but I think it could look better in Tex.

Who can help me with a start?

  • I need help with the font. In Word, it's the Special Ramadhan Font.
  • And I need help with the page decoration.

I have no troubles with images etc, it's just the font and the page decoration.

Thank you very much in advance!

Update:

I tried this one:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec} 
\setmainfont{Special Ramadhan Standaard}[BoldFont = {Special Ramadhan Standaard Bold}] \begin{document} 
Hello World, 
\textbf{Hello World} 
\end{document} 

Unfortunately, I got this message: ! Package fontspec Error: The font "specialramadhan" cannot be found. The font has been installed in Windows.

Update #2:

I opened the properties (eigenschappen in Dutch) and I followed the suggestion, but still no better result. enter image description here

I still got the message "! Package fontspec Error: The font "SpecialRamadhan-2O3z8" cannot be found."

Concerning the windows fonts, there's probably just a typo in "Standard". To check I tried a windows font on my system, which worked compiled as LuaLatex once I adjusted the bold-name (see properties in the fonts filename, probably in c:\windows\fonts).

Arial

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec} 
%\setmainfont{Special Ramadhan Standaard}[BoldFont = {Special Ramadhan Standaard Bold}% probably typo in "Standard"
 \setmainfont{Arial}[BoldFont = {arialbd}] 

\begin{document} 
Hello World, 

\textbf{Hello World} 
\end{document}

For further verification I downloaded a public font with a similar name, copied it to the same directory as the .tex file, and renamed it. This one does not provide a bold version.

ramadhan font

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec} 
%\setmainfont{Special Ramadhan Standaard}[BoldFont = {Special Ramadhan Standaard Bold}% probably typo in "Standard"

% download from https://www.1001fonts.com/special-ramadhan-font.html
% copied to dir of this file AND renamed font file

\setmainfont{srd.otf}%[BoldFont = {arialbd}] 

\begin{document} 
Hello World, 

\textbf{Hello World} % no bold font available in this one
\end{document}
