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 Idris
