I uploaded a beta that might fix it, but it needs more testing. The
issue might have been introduced when support was added for more complex
ligature building, compare for instance this:
\starttext
\def\sample{نَسْتَعِينُ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ}
\def\sample{نَسْتَعِينُ}
\def\sample{\Uchar"0643\Uchar"0644\Uchar"0651\Uchar"0627\Uchar"064E}
\setvariables
[otftracker]
[font=file:uthmantn1ver10.ttf,
size=24pt,
features=arabic,
direction=-1,
title=Feature Check,
sample=\sample]
\page
\setvariables
[otftracker]
[font=file:arabtype,
size=24pt,
features=arabic,
direction=-1,
title=Feature Check,
sample=\sample]
\stoptext
(So Kai needs to run some of his tests.)
Hans
ps. some of the somewhat complex implementation will be redone when we
have a pending extension to glyph nodes in the engine done.
