Thanks Wolfgang, but that does not seem to work with this font. See attachment, the font is wider, but not bold. See the difference to the intended result, achieved with Corel Draw (with the same font), see attachment. In ConTeXt I had the following code (see attachment for the compiled pdf): ++++++++++++++++ \definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabics][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefontfeature[fakebold][extend=1.2] \definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic,fakebold at 15pt] \starttext \arabic\setupalign[r2l] ??????? ??? ???????? ?????? ???? ???????? ??????????? \blank\arabics\setupalign[r2l] ??????? ??? ???????? ?????? ???? ???????? ??????????? \stoptext ++++++++++++++++ Huseyin
