You don't need to change anything in "supp-pdf.tex", because it works fine as is. In fact I had messed up my Context installation, which normaly resides under my "localtexmf\tex\context", but I had forgotten some old files from a previous installation under "texmf\tex\context\base". After removing the old context files from "texmf\..." the problem is solved. I'm sorry for this. >I strongly suggest you to use pdfetex, since that way you got quite some >goodies for free > I do use pdftex as my default tex-engine. The reason for creating other formats was that I was experimenting to use Omega+Context, where I encountered this problem, and so tried the same using TeX and eTeX. Appropos Omega: -------------- I have already tried the Omega specific commands (direction switching commands and OTP's) in some small Context documents and the results are very good: I used the Omega commands "\pagedir TRT" etc. for right-to-left, as well as a chain of OTP's for mapping from ISIRI (8-bit standard for Persian) to Unicode, context analysis, etc., for some Persian text. I was very impressed by the results! Unfortunately I know too little about Context/TeX to be able to set up by my own a clean language environment for Farsi (and other right-to-left scripts like Arabic and Hebrew) using these features. However if somebody starts that, I would be very happy to contribute my part (at least to the language specific issues).
