Figures are shifted to the right (the left edge is where right edge should) when I set \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT.

i'm wondering ... why do we need pagedir and bodydir?
Try this one, and play with commenting lines 1 or 2: \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \setupheadertexts[from left to right] \starttext \input tufte\footnote{\input ward } \placefigure [here,force] [fig:Mill] {Test.} {\externalfigure[mill]} \input tufte\footnote{\input ward } \stoptext As to the original problem: \textdir TRT \input epsf \epsfbox{fig.eps}\input knuth \bye I don't think this is an omega/aleph/luatex bug, but rather that epsf.tex does not take the global direction change into account. It seems that, for any figure mechanism in TeX, the coordinates of the figure need to be vertically reversed when \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT in effect.
