Re: Converting normal font into bold

Hi Ondra,

thanks for your help.

Hmm, ok. But if it is a speciality of UthmanicHafs, why CorelDraw 
understands it natively?

Thanks, that works fine:

\definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\def\eoa#1{#1\char"06DD}
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\arabicuth لأَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ﴿٨١﴾\eoa
\stoptext

But now another question arises: How to input this command into my 
unicode of quran automatically? (I am using notepad++). Not the best way 
to do this manually for all 286 Ayas (and then search and replace for 
all ayas of all suras).

And still: There must be some tricks in CorelDraw handling fonts, which 
would be great to have in ConText :)

Thank you!
Huseyin

PS: Sorry for these annoyong thread-breaking all the time - I really do 
not know, what I make wrong here. I am using Thunderbird. If anybody 
knows how to use thunderbird for email lists correctly, I would be thankful.
