Nothing is wrong with your input file, really, it's an (admittedly annoying) side-effect of changes that have been made recently in XeTeX-specific font selection options. I have the same problem here and, as frightening as XeTeX's messages may look, the output looks right. One thing: if you wish to typeset Arabic, you really have to say \font\Arab="Baghdad:script=arab", and not only \font\Arab="Baghdad", otherwise character shaping is not correctly done and the output is just messy. This behaviour needs to be fixed in ConTeXt but it's been around for a while now so it's really not that easy (fixing some things will break others, etc.). It's quite unfortunate that you had to experience all XeTeX+ConTeXt font problems at the same time, though, but judging from the other recent mails to the list I have the impression that you're not the only one today with weird problems and that everything seems to have gone astray ;-) I don't know, maybe it's just Weird Encoding Day; just this morning I was experimenting with yet another variation on ispell called hunspell, and I had the following extremely interesting crash which I would like to call the Locale-of-Death: [Current locale is fr_FR.UTF-8] $ hunspell -d morph Hunspell 1.2.1 [blah blah blah spell-checking ...] ^C $ unset LC_ALL $ hunspell -d morph zsh: bus error (core dumped) hunspell -d morph :-) Arthur ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
