Re: [NTG-context] problem with Persian feature

7 Aug 2013

      Dear Hans,
Hello again,

I just noticed that your code works fine with Dejavusans TrueType font, but
not with some other TrueType fonts.

Thanks,

Dear Hans,
Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply. With your code the Persian part
disappears on my
system unless I insert the following two lines after \definefontfeature:
   \usemodule[simplefonts]
   \setmainfont[arial][feature=persian]
However the Persian characters still appears as isolated characters.
Thanks,
Mingranina

Dear All,
  Hello,
I am completely new to ConTeXt and after searching and exploring the
  ConTeXt Garden wiki pages and other resources thoroughly, I decided
  to write my first document in Persian which reads:
\enableregime [utf-8]
\definefontfeature [persian] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab,
init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,
mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[arial][feature=persian]
\mainlanguage[pe]
\setupbodyfont[arial,12pt]
\starttext
\pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT\pardir TRT\textdir TRT
این یک آزمایش است.
\pagedir TLT\bodydir TLT\pardir TLT\textdir TLT
This is a test.
\stoptext
As there are some UTF-8 characters in the document I have attached the
  document to this message too.
The problem is that on my system the Persian part of the output is a
set
of
  Persian Isolated characters, but on http://live.contextgarden.net the
Persian
  part does not appear at all.
  Could somebody please let me know what am I doing wrong?
Here is a more minimal test:
\definefontfeature [persian] [arabic] % [...]
\mainlanguage[pe]
\starttext
\definedfont[arial*persian]
\setupalign[r2l]
این یک آزمایش است.
\setupalign[l2r]
This is a test.
\stoptext
If that works, you can try the simplefonts variant. Keep in mind that
you need to end a paragraph with an empty line or \par because otherwise
the last settings apply.
Hans
