Someone on this list did this a couple of years ago or more; does anyone remember the link to that?

Try the Garamond experiment, then analyze type-ugm in light of the fonts manual. >In the end my ideal would be a context which typesets Arabic, Russian >and Turkish, plus transcription according to a code I developed myself. For transcription, you can use aleph. By the end of this year or sooner there should be a new advanced Arabic-script package. Hopefully, one day aleph will be integrated into pdfetex (long term) or at least the aleph-dvipdfmx combo will have all of ConTeXt's capabilities (short term).
