Elmers. search contextgarden.net for detail. I am using context 2005.31.1 and arabtex 3.11m on MacOSX , bas-ed on gwTeX. I did play around this and found a few interesting things. The result is simply wonderful. \placecontent and \section can appear in arabic! 1) I rename font-arb.tex to m-arabtex.tex and \usemodule[arabtex]. it works. ( as to why it works and was it OK to do it, I cannot explain ) 2) need to add at top of document , ( probably any font definition ) font-arb.tex did mention something about font macro. \usetypescript[postscript] \switchtotypeface[postscript] if you did not, the body text will appear in \em . 3) there is some spurious arabic text, align left. I believe there is bug in \startarabic ... \stoparabic code. my request; can Hans look over font-arb.tex, see if there need some updating/changes. It was written way back in 1999. can font-arb be turn into a module? My reason; I am hoping to write a paper using jawi script, which is supported by arabtex. I am aware of omega, aleph + context , xetex. but, unfortunately, these 3 doesn't have the necessary jawi glyph. with a bit of polishing, it believe arabext and context would be a great tool for me. many thanks in advance. minimal test file below =============== test.tex =========================== \usemodule[arabtex] \usetypescript[postscript] \switchtotypeface[postscript] % without this lines, body font appear in \em \setarab % \<..> will not work if we skip this \novocalize \starttext \placecontent \section{\} % short arabic use \< .. > \startarabic mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm \stoparabic \section{\} \startarabic mu.hammad 'i_d q"aAm zay"d" + i_d yaqUm zyd + A_d zyd q"aAm \stoparabic \stoptext ============================================= zamri
