Subject: Arabic support

Hi
Just wondering what the current support for Arabic is. Does anyone know?
My document works fine for Hebrew and I've just added a new fontfallbac:
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][Scheherazade] [range=arabic,
force=yes, features=arabic]
Bidi is activated with \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode]
Is that enough for Arabic? Or are there other things I need to take care of?
E.g. searching in the mailing-list archive I found this message:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg78573.html
> You have to set the bidi settings again for the footnotes because
> the notes mechanism resets many of these setups.
> \startsetups[note:footnote]
> \setupdirections[bidi=global]
> \stopsetups
>
> \setupnote[footnote][setups=note:footnote] % align=righttoleft
Is that still true? Anything else I need to be aware of?
Best,
Denis
