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

Works here, I get both ligatures (though they are implemented in this
particular font as contextual forms not ligatures in the technical
sense).
If you are running recent enough version of ConTeXt (e.g. minimals) this
can be simplified to:
\mainlanguage[arabic]
\definefont[ArabicFont][name:amiri*arabic at 24pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*...
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\ArabicFont
لا في
\stoptext
Regards,
Khaled
