Hi all, i would like to typeset hebrew with context. My not fully working example:
\starttext \definedfont[name:narkisim at 20pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext
In the resulting pdf the vocalisations are on the left side of the glyph, instead of being centered. I append the result of context and the result of Libreoffice.
Is there a way to typeset vocalised hebrew with context or am I doing something wrong?

Depending on the font, correct niqqud placement requires some combination (sometimes all) of the following font features: lang, ccmp, and script. For Ezra SIL, I would use \definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [ lang=heb, ccmp=yes, script=hebr, ] \starttext \definedfont[name:EzraSIL*hebrew at 72pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext while for David_CLM the script feature suffices: \definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [ % lang=heb, % ccmp=yes, script=hebr, ] \starttext \definedfont[name:David_CLM-medium*hebrew at 72pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext You will have to find what works for narkisim. -- Rik
