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?
Greetings Lutz

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.
