On c.t.t. there was a discussion about the TeX-ligatures -- and ---
for endash and emdash. It seems that the luaotfload/context code
fails for some font/mode combination: For some fonts +tlig works
with both modes, some works only with mode=base, and there was also
a report of font which doesn't work at all (Frutiger LT 55 Roman).
E.g. on my PC +tlig works for Arial (c:/windows/fonts/Arial.ttf)
tested with a current context minimals only with mode=base.
\font\test="Arial:mode=node;+tlig"
\font\testb="Arial:mode=base;+tlig"
\starttext
\test -- --- abc %fails
\testb -- --- abc %works
\stoptext \bye

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 553 bytes --]
Dear all,
I read Jon's, Khalid's, and Idriss' exchange of mails on typesetting Arabic a while ago.
Problems with typesetting Arabic in context thusfar have been my only reason left for not switching over to ConteXt altogether.
Idriss adviced to forget the mirroring thing as suggested on contextgarden, and use \setupdirections instead.
Could anyone - perhaps Jon - please tell me in more detail how the working 'hello world' example looks like, including the references to the font ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf?
Thanks in advance!
Robert

this is a side effect of there being two hyphens, think of:
\char 45\char 45
\char173\char173
\char173\char 45
\char 45\char173
\char 45\char 45\char 45
\char173\char173\char173
\char173\char 45\char 45
\char 45\char173\char173
fixed in next beta
