I totally agree with you, more ever I hop that at some point in the future, just selecting certain language will be enough to get proper display of it, some thing like:
\mainlanguage[arabic] \startext أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext
to some extend that can already be done with dynamic features but it needs more research etc
\setupbodyfont[arabic=foo,latin=bar]
for that we have the fallbacks mechanism; of course one can mix any font but even then it always demands tuning, i.e. foo and bar can look completely weird when combined without relative scaling (which is what the fallbacks do: thereone chooses one main font and overlays other fonts properly scaled) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
