(1) what is farsi math ... what makes it special? (2) one can plug in converters (it might already be there) (3) it's not an luatex issue since it only provides the mechanisms, but afaik context/mkiv can do a reasonable job (4) i dunno, this is a layout issue and i cannot implement something specific if i have no specs (5) sure, not special about presentations (6) sure (7) no, because it's not latex anyhow, handling farsi boils down to: - fonts: these should work ok and if not, we can solve it given examples and fonts - layouts: you need to communicate that with idris since he's in charge of investigating specific features needed for r/l typesetting; it's mostly a configuration issue, but i can imagine some more r/l direction keys (in that respect i'd rather not talk about farsi but more in general terms of lr vs rl typesetting/layout) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
