  • Abstract
    The importance of generating readable screen display in languages other than English and the use of TEX for that purpose are discussed. The features added to TEX, which in its first two forms was unmistakably an English language system, are described. The particular features of Arabic script and the requirement imposed by its graphic characters are examined
