Subject: Problems with arabic font "Amiri"
Date: Wed, 08 May 2013 07:41:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5189E591.9040108@mmnetz.de> (raw)

Hello,

I tried to type with the arabic font "Amiri" by K. Hosny. You can 
download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiri/

In this download-page you find a nice example of the font, setting the 
sura "Al-Fatiha" (first section of the Holy Qur'an). I tried to regain 
this example with ConTeXt, but failed.
Here is my try:

\definefont[amiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\define[1]\Arab{\amiri#1}
\starttext
\Arab{بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ}
\stoptext

But that doesn't compile here. I get this error:

! LuaTeX error
