General ⇒ Latex Armenian

[Hayk]

Dear LaTeX community and LaTeX developers (if there are),

I am encountered and encountering with the problem of LaTeX Babel inconsistency with Armenian language. I would like to be part of solving this problem in general, if you know people who are working in LaTeX development, please provide contacts of them by my email hayk.gev.yan@gmail.com. I can help with finding Armenian fonts, questions regarding Armenian language and etc.

There are some possibilities to solve the problem of using Armenian in LaTeX text, so one is to use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX for text generation instead of pdfLaTeX, another way is to use the following
\newcommand{\armenian}{\fontencoding{OT6}\fontfamily{cmr}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textarmenian}{\armenian}
which is in some sense inconvenient, since you need to type \textarmenian{} when you want to have Armenian text.

But in both cases, there is an issue regarding the text which is going out of the bounds on the right side, and I think it is core issue related to LaTeX and Armenian inconsistency, which will be interesting to solve!

Happy New Year and Mery Christmas,
Waiting for your kind response,
Sincerely and Cordially,

Dr. Hayk Gevorgyan
