From the features listed there, I think only 'dlig' and 'cswh' don't make much sense to be on by default, so I think the predefined 'arabic' font features should be changed to disable 'dlig' and enable 'calt' and 'mset' instead, as I think both are needed for Arabic fonts (especially 'calt' which is heavily used in Nasta'liq fonts). So, I think it should be: \definefontfeature [arabic] [mode=3Dnode,language=3Ddflt,script=3Darab, init=3Dyes,medi=3Dyes,fina=3Dyes,isol=3Dyes, liga=3Dyes,rlig=3Dyes,clig=3Dyes,calt=3Dyes, mark=3Dyes,mkmk=3Dyes,kern=3Dyes,curs=3Dyes, mset=3Dyes] Regards, Khaled --=20 Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmhWHYACgkQRoqITGOuyPIF6wCeLu7zHa1kjWQrrUFy5LevAiZv UmsAn11juuTm4dhYGGBIlr67Hk44KJ3B =4ai6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy-- --===============0005275608== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ --===============0005275608==--
