Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tables in Arabic

[Asma_F]

This is what happened when I try to update MiKTeX

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps choose another MiKTeX repository (where the update comes from).

Or consider installing TeX Live instead. It's supported by the TeX Users Group, cross-platform including Windows, stable and mature. That's what I use.

Process exited normally now but no output shows up.

perhaps you need to switch from arabtex to arabxetex package, if using XeLaTeX.
You should switch from inputenc to fontspec package, too.
Come to think of it, if Arabic is the only language used in your document, you could switch the main font:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage[a4paper, total={7in, 9in}, showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
     
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Arabic]{Amiri}
          
\title{%
    \Huge\textsc{ التأثيرات البيولوجية للإشعاعات المؤينة }}
\date{}
\author{}
     
\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{adjustbox}{width=0.4\textwidth,center}
  \begin{tabular}[]{|c|c|}
    \hline
                     التعريف & المصطلح
    \\\hline

                     احتمال الإصابةبالمرض العشوائي عند التعرض لجرعة إشعاعية محددة & معامل المخاطرة 
    \\\hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
{\color{blue!60!black}\rule{0.3\textwidth}{1pc}\hfill\rule{0.3\textwidth}{1pc}}
\end{table}
          
\end{document}

The two blue blocks just demonstrate the horizontal position and size of the {adjustbox} environment.

Thank you Rainer. It works now but I changed (Amiri ) to (Arial Unicode MS) because the first one caused an error

(! fontspec error: "font-not-found"!! The font "Amiri" cannot be found.)


I faced another problem which is the order of the sentence is not as it should be. I mean in Arabic, sentences start from right to left but when I compile it start from left to right.

I really appreciate any help

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps use the bidi package.

Stefan

[Asma_F]

Thank you Stefan. I used the package and the problem solved.

This is my code in case someone faces the same problem.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Arabic]{Calibri}

Sorry about that---I didn't even realize my error---glad you've found a solution.
