With an otp u can define the character sequence ".d" so that it always gives you \.d in the output.

I know I could look this up, but briefly:

(1) What's an otp?

Here r the best sources on otp's: http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/roadmap/doc-1.12.ps http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/papers/tsukuba-arabic97.pdf The second one especially has examples, many of them language-neutral.

(2) Given a set of pfb and afm files (or a set of ttf files) how do I define such things for Aleph?

Not sure I understand this, but there is a way to prepare huge (i.e., >256-glyphs) fonts for use by Omega starting from the afm files. I actually documented this in detail some time ago; I have to search and find it... ...Ahh! I found it;-) http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega-example.html There is also a test file using Arabic script for those who wanted to try doing Arabic-script in ConTeXt/Gamma. Originally made for Omega1.15, it will work with eOmega/Aleph. Best wishes Idris
