Dear gang,
I still have not had time to prepare the new how-to on Arabic and
ConTeXt, but I completely forgot that I already wrote one a year ago!
Just compile the ConTeXt format with eOmega and read the following:
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega-example.html
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/README
The readme contains detailed instructions. Replace Omega1.15 with
e-Omega1.15. Also do the following in your texmf.cnf file before
compiling the format:
buf_size.context = 200000 % needed for omega bug
%extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000 % comment for omega/eomega
extra_mem_top.context = 2000000
The second line should be commented as above (otherwise fpTeX will do
strange things...)
I can't believe I forgot all about this...
More info: For global right-to-left use
\textdir TRT\pardir TRT\bodydir TRT\pagedir TRT
in your preamble. You will need to add a
\hoffset=-8cm
to compensate for an omega bug in \bodydir.
For questions about any of this, please join the aleph mailing list and
I'll help as best as I can. The following documentation is incomplete
but helpful:
http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/roadmap/doc-1.12.ps
http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/papers/tsukuba-arabic97.pdf
Best

Actually the bug is probably in \pagedir, not \bodydir.
