I'm trying to include Arabic text in an English document (I'm a new latex user), but I can't seem to get any Arabic text to render at all, using xelatex or any kind of tex. I'm using texshop 3.51 on a mac. I can't get this basic example to work, it just displays question marks in the output pdf.  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf]{arabxetex} \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic]{Amiri} \begin{document} \begin{arab}[voc] وَهَذِهِ فِقرَةٌ بِالعَرَبِيَة مَعَ كَلِمَة اِنكلِيزِيَة \end{arab} \end{document}     I've downloaded Amiri (and also Scheherazade and Lateef) into Fontbook, and they show up if I go Source->Font->Show Fonts in texshop. If I remove the Amiri part it still doesn't work.   Is there anything I can do? I've looked at other links here, like  and  but I can't even render any of those examples.   Thank you so much for any help! I'll love you forever if I can get this to work.

Where can I find a large palette / set of contrasting colors for coloring many datasets on a plot? I need large set (20 and more) of contrasted and easily visually-distinguishable colors for coloring different datasets on a scientific plot (the set of colors should not include white or black, and colors should be as bright as possible).   The plot is generated programmatically and intended to be included in a presentation which will be displayed using a projector.   Are there any ready-made sets of colors for such a task (I need colors as a set of RGB values)?   Or maybe there is some algorithm which generates such a set of colors programmatically (I use  for plot generation)?  P.S. The plot itself may look, for example, similar to this one: I am using XeLaTeX and memoir to write a longer text with several parts, chapters and sections. When printing the \tableofcontents I get a spacing problem with 2-figure numbers almost overlapping the relevant section name, as per enclosed picture.  I am aware that the memoir manual has a section dedicated to this theme, but the most part of it is doubledutch to me. Is there any easy way to avoid this problem? Activating 'missing' standard GRASS utilities in QGIS Processing toolbox How to overload __init__ method based on argument type? I wanted to add classpath to my JDK. While searching a way to do it I noticed everyone open .profile file using terminal. But when I want to open and edit it with a text editor I couldn't see that file in Home folder.  Can someone tell me why is this. And also if possible how can I access .profile in home folder the GUI way. Is it supposed to be a HTML or an HTML We know that $1331$ is divisible by $11$. As per the $11$ divisibility test, we can say $1331$ is divisible by $11$. However we cannot get any quotient. If we subtract each unit digit in the following way, we can see the quotient when $1331$ is divided by $11$.  $1331 \implies 133 -1= 132$ $132 \implies 13 - 2= 11$ $11 \implies 1-1 = 0$, which is divisible by $11$.  Also the quotient is, arrange, all the subtracted  unit digits (in bold and italic) from bottom to top, we get $121$. Which is quotient. I want to know how this method is working?

Is this something that hasn't been implemented or is it a bug?  If it hasn't been implemented can we please have it implemented? I have a hard time formulating proofs.  For this problem, I  can see that if $n$ is equal to $8,$ this statement is true.  $(\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z})^{\times}$ includes elements:  $1,3,5,7$, and all of these are roots of $1-x^2 \pmod 8.$  And obviously $8$ divides $24.$  But how do I prove this without depending on number calculations and only using theorems?  Help Please?  I need a step by step walk through of how to do this proof and what theorems would be appropriate to use. MySQL: LEFT JOIN not working as expected How to setup Java-Home and Path in Ubuntu 12.04 I thought this would be a simple question, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Not a homework assignment btw. I am a physics student and am just genuinely interested in physics problems involving math, which would be all of them.  So lets say we drop an object from a height, $R+r$, it falls toward earth. This height, $R+r$, is far enough away that the $g$ it experiences is a fraction of $g$ at sea-level. Let's just say that air resistance is negligible, and it wouldn't be that complicated to just integrate from $0$ velocity to the terminal velocity piece wise and deal with the rest of it later.  So the key here is that acceleration is changing with time. I thought I could simplify this by saying it changes with distance, and it has nothing to do with time, but this didn't really help, my guess is that maybe time is important (doh).  I tried integrating acceleration with time, and ended up nowhere. I tried integrating $a=GM/R^2$ with respect to $R$ from $R+r$ to $R$ and ended up with a negative function.  I saw somewhere someone tried to expand with taylor series, they even have something similar on hyperphysics, but I can't figure out how to obtain the polynomials that precede the variables.    This is the hyperphysics site where they use polynomials to find the distance.   Maybe I can't solve this because I haven't taken a course in differential equations yet. What I want to know is how to calculate the distance at any time. Are film capacitors affected by DC bias? After looking around, I have found quite a few things about how DC bias reduces effective capacitance for a ceramic, or electrolytic capacitor, however nothing seems to talk about the effect on film capacitors. I've found a couple of papers about film caps (such as: ), and they mention frequency and temperature, but I can't find anything about DC bias reducing capacitance.  I have obviously checked the data sheet of the component I plan on using (), but there isn't anything about DC bias in that (unless I've just failed at spotting it).  This suggests to me that they aren't affected by DC bias, but that seems a bit of a bold claim, and I can't see that stated anywhere.  Are film capacitor values affected by DC bias? If so, can anyone point me to some data about what the roll off is?  I am planning to use some film capacitors in an application with 48-60V DC across the capacitors and a ripple current around 30 amps. JTable won't show column headers Logistic regression vs. LDA as two-class classifiers What made us think that Earth moves around the Sun? Suppose we have $x^2+4x+3=0$  We differentiate both sides to get $2x+4=0$.  So $x=-2$  But $(-2)^2+4(-2)+3=0$   $4-8+3=-1$ is not equal to $0$.  Which tells that we cannot differentiate equalities. But in many proofs, like in integral calculus, differentiating both sides occurs. So, where is the fallacy? How is using a transformer for isolation safer than directly connecting to the power grid? How is using a 1:1 transformer safer than using the mains straight off? Is it because you can limit the current coming from the transformer whereas straight from the mains its not current limited? I fail to see how its "safer" when playing with electricity is dangerous. Could someone please explain why it is considered safer to be isolated by a transformer. Rights if we possess Carta di Soggiorno? I have searched the internet but could not find specific information so if we have got the following document "Carta di Soggiorno di Familiare di Un Cittadino Dell'Unione" (Residence Card of a family member of a Union Citizen, Italy) issued by the Italian authority, what rights do we possess of working inside Italy and EU? What about travelling? Will we be requiring visas for the states which are are not in Schengen? How do I save a variable or function definition to a file?
