Yes, again, kassra is set too low, in both fonts. But with 
traditionalarabic it is worse than with arabtype. What could be a way to 
fix this?

I described an example here: 
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073025.html

as a code, and with a pdf in attachment. Maybe it is not clear what I 
mean?: The "slash" is set too low, and this only in ConTeXt. Is the 
example good enough?

mistyping in last one, corrected:

If this behavior of context setting the kassra (slash) too low is not easily understandable or fixable, do
anyone knows a font, where this not happens with the symbol "allah" and
kassra in context? I thought in this mailer were some arabic typers... ?

Any ideas, where this bug comes from? Seems weird, that it affects only 
one sinlg lettercombination, in other programms this do not occur.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have the following example with the font "traditional arabic", but the 
question is possibly independent from the font.
The code:

\definefont[Shehw][name:traditionalarabicnormal*arabic at 24pt] % or 
file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf
\def\Arab[#1]{\noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehw#1}
\starttext
\Arab[
اللَّـهِ
]\blank
\Arab[
اللهِ
]
\stoptext

(The lower one is the correct symbol, the upper one not.) If you can't 
compile, look at the attachment.
The upper one has the typographical correct symbol under it (below left, 
"kassra", looks like a slanted hyphen). This kassra has a nice distant 
from the word "Allah".

But the lower example, the correct "Allah", has a far too big distant 
from its kassra. Why? This does not happen e.g. in CorelDraw, where the 
distant is nice in both examples.
