Dear all,
I'm having a hard time to get context typeset arabic words with ligatures,
or say, to some order>1 according to page 7 of:
http://luatex.org/talks/print-orientaltex-eurotex-2009.pdf.
I'm using:
ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.15 int: english/english
I've put up this minimal example where the font used is amiri from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiri/files/
and more precisely amiri-regular.ttf therein.
Any hint as to what I should do to get (at least the lam-alef ligature)?
Thank you for your help,
Olivier
