Test out the small TeX-file in
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2928#c9
When you use Hebrew additionally it works.
I also looked at the source code of babel and the command \R is only defined
when Hebrew is used.
(I reported this also to the babel maintainer.)
The LaTeX companion also only mention \R for Hebrew.
The package arabi that is used for Farsi and Arabic states that one has to use \AR and \FR, so I'm
absolutely sure that I'm correct.
The example file certainly won't work, because it's
not in real arabic (attachment 1308)...
But its language is set to Arabic so what do you mean?
I'm trying this out right now (with real arabic), and my main problem
ATM is with loading the appropriate fonts.
Follow this guideline:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Arabic
(ignore MiKTeX)
Also, the line "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" in the generated latex file seems a little
suspect to me, but I'm not sure.
You are right, the correct call according to the documentation of the arabi
package is
\usepackage[LAE,LFE]{fontenc}
and when also other languages than Arabic and Farsi are used it is
\usepackage[T1,LAE,LFE]{fontenc}
Do you know of anyone who used to be able to use arabic in LyX, but
can't anymore?
The problem is that Arabic could never be used due to this bug and the now
fixed bug 2927.
