My guess is you could just remove the punctuation support from the current OTP. If a user really needs to say "1.2 million", (s)he can just write $1.2$ instead, which is more or less standard TeX practice anyway.
It is my understanding that the contents of $$ is unaffected by OTPs (and if it is not, it should be made so. Math is a language on its own).
ok, it's done. The new ocp is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/2/27/Uni2cuni.zip and the instructions are here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Aleph_Guide#Installing Now, in normal text, +, -, and . are treated as separators, not plus sign, minus, and decimal point. If you want math use $$ etc. but then you will get the math font not omarb (which is standard practice in the Arabic-script world). I have no idea if this affects Hans' solution (have not upgraded yet); this is all experimental so things may change. An aside: Classical Arabic is more sensical. Consider the number 3721. In classical Arabic one says, "one and twenty and and seven hundred and three thousand", which makes much more sense for a r-l language. So one would write the numeral from r to l and it would look the same. How decimals would be handled in the classical case needs a bit of research Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
