Second I would like a reference to the pertinent Context manual or module for such typesetting. Finally I would like to know if there is a typescript extant for Farsi (Persian) wich I believe uses the Arabic alphabet with some modifications. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
