What we need is for new users to be able to say, eg,

\setmainlanguage[arabic] \setupdirections[bidi=global] % maybe this should be implied by \setmainlanguage[arabic]

\starttext أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext

And get Scheharezade without doing anything else. Maybe we can put the fonts as an extra module .

Why a seperate module? It's an Open Font License. Why add unnecessary extra work for users, especially new ones? Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shiʿi Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
