This is great, thanks so much. I have just one or two queries and things I wasn't able to make work. I hope someone can help. My test file is here: http://www.capdm.com/public/context/omarab-queries1.tex And the output it generates is here: http://www.capdm.com/public/context/omarab-queries1.pdf First question - how do I get italic text? The first three paragraphs in the test are identical content, but the second has {\it ...} around it and the third has {\bf ...} around it. The third para comes out perfectly in bold, but the second para looks the same as the first. How can I get italics? Second question - that same first para contains 5 ligatures. They don't seem to match the rest of the font. Is this a set-up issue, or is it the way the font is designed? If it is a set-up issue, is there a way to fix it? Third and final question - I inserted a section and two subsections to demonstrate that the numbering of subsections is left-to-right. How can I make it right-to-left? (Explanation: the PDF shows section "1", and then subsections "1-1" and "1-2"; reading the numbers from right-to-left, I need it to show as section "1" and then subsections "1-1" and "2-1". In the subsection the "1" should come first when reading rtl.) Thanks very much for any help. Bests, Duncan
