Dear Hans,
Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply. With your code the Persian part
disappears on my
system unless I insert the following two lines after \definefontfeature:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[arial][feature=persian]
However the Persian characters still appears as isolated characters.
Thanks,
Mingranina

Dear All, Hello,
I am completely new to ConTeXt and after searching and exploring the ConTeXt Garden wiki pages and other resources thoroughly, I decided to write my first document in Persian which reads:
\enableregime [utf-8] \definefontfeature [persian] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes]
\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[arial][feature=persian]
\mainlanguage[pe] \setupbodyfont[arial,12pt]
\starttext \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT\pardir TRT\textdir TRT این یک آزمایش است. \pagedir TLT\bodydir TLT\pardir TLT\textdir TLT This is a test. \stoptext
As there are some UTF-8 characters in the document I have attached the document to this message too.
The problem is that on my system the Persian part of the output is a set of Persian Isolated characters, but on http://live.contextgarden.net the Persian part does not appear at all. Could somebody please let me know what am I doing wrong?
Here is a more minimal test:
\definefontfeature [persian] [arabic] % [...]
\mainlanguage[pe]
\starttext
\definedfont[arial*persian]
\setupalign[r2l]
این یک آزمایش است.
\setupalign[l2r]
This is a test.
\stoptext
If that works, you can try the simplefonts variant. Keep in mind that you need to end a paragraph with an empty line or \par because otherwise the last settings apply.
