I am getting this error:

Package polyglossia error. The current latin font PersianModern(0) does not contain the "Arabic" script!(polyglossia) Please define \arabicfont with \newfontfamily command.

I use the most up-to-date MiKTeX and Texmaker. This never used to be a problem for me, but with the new MikTeX version it seems to be a problem. I prefer not to revert back to the older v2.9.

I have read the following posts to no avail:

polyglossia and minted - The current roman font does not contain the Hebrew script!

polyglossia error about file name when in draft mode

Verbatim and polyglossia

MWE (un-comment %\textfarsi{را} to get the problem)

%XeLaTeX
\documentclass[]{scrbook}

\usepackage[]{geometry}


\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}


\usepackage{polyglossia}
    \setdefaultlanguage{english}
    \setotherlanguage{farsi}
    \newfontfamily\englishfont[Ligatures=NoCommon]{Linux Libertine O}
    \newfontfamily\englishfontsf[Ligatures=NoCommon]{Linux Biolinum O}
    \newfontfamily\farsifont[Script=Arabic]{Persian Modern}

  • Where can one find the font? Google finds many fonts when I search for “Persian Modern” — which are you trying to use? – Thérèse Jan 15 '21 at 00:56
  • It comes with MikTeX, which is why this is extra confusing to me. https://miktex.org/packages/persian-modern – AML Jan 15 '21 at 00:59
  • Is Persian Modern a Unicode font, or does it use a different encoding? Amiri should work, or you can download Noto Serif Arabic, or Scheherazade by SIL. – Davislor Jan 15 '21 at 02:49
  • If I substitute Amiri, I get the same problem. There seems to be a more fundamental problem going on. – AML Jan 15 '21 at 13:38
