To: Hans Hagen <j.hagen@xs4all.nl>

Thank you very much, Hans. Ligatures now work. However, diacritics aren't properly placed even using "features=arabic" (they appear below letters in LMTX). ConTeXt MkIV still gives correct output.

Thank you in advance.

(you can probably best use the already define arabic featre because it
also does some contextual stuff)

anyway, there was an issue with the state querying (isol etc) as side
effect of another thing .. fixed in next upload (there haven't been
fundamental changes to the font handling for quite a while)
