Complex Script font not working in openxml c#

Question

I created a Word document, and added some text in it.My problem is with Persian/Arabic text and English text. I can set the Complex and Latin font in Word like the picture below, but in OpenXML, when I set font for ASCII and Complex font, Word is not initializing it. My code in c#:

 public string CreateWordprocessingDocument()
    {
        string fileName = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/TempFile/125.docx");
        string txt = @"  بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
                this is test";
        using (WordprocessingDocument wordDocument =
            WordprocessingDocument.Create(fileName, WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
        {
            MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDocument.AddMainDocumentPart();
            mainPart.Document = new Document();
            Body body = mainPart.Document.AppendChild(new Body());
            Paragraph para = body.AppendChild(new Paragraph());
            SetRightToLeft(para);
            Run run = new Run();
            RunProperties rPr = new RunProperties();
            RunFonts rFont = new RunFonts();
            rFont.Ascii = "Arial";
            rFont.ComplexScript = "B Nazanin";
            rFont.EastAsia = "B Nazanin";
            rPr.Append(rFont);
            run.AppendChild(rPr);
            run.AppendChild(new Text(txt));
            para.AppendChild(run);
        }
        return fileName;
    }
}

and the result in word xml like this:

 <w:document>
  <w:body>
   <w:p>
    <w:pPr>
     <w:bidi/>
    </w:pPr>
    <w:r>
     <w:rPr>
       <w:rFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:eastAsia="B Nazanin" w:cs="B Nazanin"/>
     </w:rPr>
    <w:t> بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم this is test</w:t>
   </w:r>
  </w:p>
 </w:body>
 </w:document>

word setting complex script and latin

The problem is when I open Word document all of the text is 'Arial'. I want font of 'this is test' to be 'Arial' and font of 'بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم' to be 'B Nazanin'

Hmm, that's odd, according to the spec that XML should work the way you have it. I suppose I would experiment by expanding the .docx, editing the XML directly, and repackaging into a docx to try things out. I might try putting the two into separate <w:t> elements. I would also make a Word document that looks the way I want and then inspect the XML. I expect Word puts them in separate runs. — scanny

You must split Persian text from Latin and then apply font properties for each one separately.
