Now for my concern: I want to typeset Arabic. What would I use? I am aware of ArabTex, I haven't yet tried Omega... however, I followed some presentations for LuaTeX and typesetting Arabic was mentioned there as motivation. This is how I got to ConTeXt in the first place. Trying the documentation, I ended up on the following page which says "TODO" http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew I also searched mail archives, but the mails I found on this subject were from 2003, so I thought it is worth probing for an update. Any news or hints appreciated.
