arab (omega)

[Hans Hagen <pragma@wxs.nl>]

Hi otp lovers,

i managed to get this number stuff running (i.e. bypass the otp messing 
up numbers):

i'm uploading a beta

beware, there is no need to setup separators, and no need to reverse 
numbers!

\def\ArabicUTF
  {\ArabicDirGlobal
   \usefiltersequence[UTFArabic]%
   \switchtobodyfont[omarb]%
   \isolateseparators} % will handle separators

of course you should not expect proper kerning when isolation is used with latin 

things like this actually need some advanced control (special otp's for difference situations, depending on what one's dealing with, then to be hooked into the code at the right place, which is tricky since it may get lost later one etc etc) 

still messed up: math display formulas, strange number reversion and swapping l/r [since omega has bugs with math i'm not sure what is the reason] 

maybe duncan/idris/taco have an idea 

Hans
