Hi all,
i would like to typeset hebrew with context.
My not fully working example:

\starttext
\definedfont[name:narkisim at 20pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext

In the resulting pdf the vocalisations are on the left side of the glyph, instead of being centered.
I append the result of context and the result of Libreoffice.

Is there a way to typeset vocalised hebrew with context or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings Lutz

Depending on the font, correct niqqud placement requires some combination (sometimes all) of the following font features: lang, ccmp, and script. For Ezra SIL, I would use

\definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [
  lang=heb,
  ccmp=yes,
  script=hebr,
]
\starttext
\definedfont[name:EzraSIL*hebrew at 72pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext

while for David_CLM the script feature suffices:

\definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [
% lang=heb,
% ccmp=yes,
  script=hebr,
]
\starttext
\definedfont[name:David_CLM-medium*hebrew at 72pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext

You will have to find what works for narkisim.
