Re: How to use "fontsampler example" with Persian font

[Mingranina Gingranina <mingranina@gmail.com>]

 Dear Mohammad,
 Hi,

 Thank you very much for your reply. I forgot to mention that I had
modified the fontsampler codes so that I can use it in ConTeXt with
Dabeer module.

 However, inspired by your reply I could get it to work in LuaTeX but
not in ConTeXt with Dabeer module.

 Are there any other set of features that I can test?

 Thanks,
 Mingranina
