Hi Hans, Taco, Idriss and the mkiv team, Since I have been unable to use mkiv until very recently I am not aware whether the following bug has been addressed or not (Luigi Scarso taught me how to install and use mkiv on Mac OS, last Sunday…). Below is a minimal file which shows that the numerals in Right-to-Left text are reversed, while they shouldn't. XeTeX and XeConTeXt behave correctly in this respect. If the bug is known, pardon me for the noise… Best regards: OK %% begin file bug-RL-numerals.tex \starttext \definefontfeature [testPersian] [analyze=yes, mode=node, language=dflt, script=arab, aalt=yes, init=yes, medi=yes, fina=yes, isol=yes, liga=yes, mset=yes] \font\FaarsiA=arabtype*testPersian at 36pt \startbuffer[faarsi] این متن در سال ۲۰۰۸ مسیحی نوشته شده است. \stopbuffer \pardir TLT \textdir TLT This file has been typeset on \currentdate{} at \currenttime, mkiv, ConTeXt version \contextversion, % LuaTeX version \luatexversion, LuaTeX revision \luatexrevision, (LuaTeX date stamp \luatexdatestamp). \blank[6*big] The number input as « 2008 » in Persian is written in the output as « 8002 » in the following Persian text: \blank[6*big] \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \FaarsiA \getbuffer[faarsi] \blank[6*big] \stoptext %% end file bug-RL-numerals.tex
