Re: [NTG-context] How to use "fontsampler example" with Persian font

      I don't know much about fontsampler but the commands you list here are
mostly irrelevant.  My guess is you will need to set the features in the
font to get proper shaping.  A good set of features that should do the
trick is called "arabic".

When loading the font, you should do something like the following, but I
have not tried it myself.

\font\myfont=file:font.otf:language=dflt;script=arab;ccmp=yes;init=yes;medi=yes;fina=yes;rlig=yes

Dear All,
 Hello,
I am trying to use "fontsampler example" with Persian fonts (please
see below or "http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/Fontsampler"
 for fontsampler codes).
 The problem is that Persian words apears as a string of separate
glyphs, for example I get "ح‌س‌ن" instead of "حسن".
 Do I have to use commands like the followings inside \directlua or
tex.tprint to fix the problem? If yes, how can I do that?
\installlanguage [fa][default=pe,date=\longjalalidatefmt]
\mainlanguage[fa]
\definefontfeature[tlig][tlig=yes]
\definefontfeature[slanted][slant=.2]
\definefontfeature[dlang][language=dflt]
\definefontfeature[flang][language=far]
Thanks
Mingranina
