Arabic support for ConTeXt

Arabic support for ConTeXt

[Idris S Hamid]

Hi gang,

A few of you have written to me about Arabic support for ConTeXt as well as modifying
EDMAC to use RL support in Omega. It is my intention to provide some info/how-to on
this in the next couple of weeks, as soon as I finish some research.

In the meantime, I suggest anyone interested in this to get their hands on e-Omega
1.15 (Omega + eTeX functionality). This is the version the how-to will be based upon.
It is available for fpTeX and MiKTeX; I'm not sure when a version will be available
for teTeX, though Thomas Esser may cooperate with anyone willing to provide a separate
patch.

Best wishes
Idris

Here in Hawai'i GB and TE sat together and got it running under linux so 
eomega is tetex ready ...

I am on Cygwin. I downloaded cont-tmp.zip(2003-7.21.22.16), and then
tried texexec --make en. The command fails with the
following message:
[snip]
! I can't find file `prop-ini.tex`.
l.265 \input prop-ini.tex

[snip]
Error: `pdfetex -ini -jobname=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed

I've checked and found the referred file. Any clues?

Hi,

After unzipping the cont-tmf.zip did you run mktexlsr?

If it makes you happy, I did a similar gross mistake during the
presentation ... imagine the (lack of) results!

e-Omega 1.15 will be there in teTeX 2.0.2, probably.
