Hi Mojca,

Here is a place to start ():

After some experimenting I managed to get your example on http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/README to kind-of-work.

I get those strange arabic and whatever-strange-script-glyphs, but just a short question: how to typeset in utf-8?

The point is that you have to set up the otp filters to use the utf-8 filter instead of the transcription filter. See below... If you already have the regular omega support files in MiKTeX etc, then great. Otherwise: Here is a set of instructions for ConTeXt users: 1. Get the omega support files: http://www.ctan.org/get?fn=/systems/win32/fptex/0.7/package/omega.zip http://www.ctan.org/get?fn=/systems/win32/fptex/0.7/package/omegafonts.zip 2. Get rid of the following directories from omega.zip (not really necessary but if u want to be efficient): texmf/eomega texmf/omega/encodings 3. Put files in texmf-local; 4. Compile the Aleph format: mktexlsr texexec --make en -tex=aleph 5. Always start aleph files with this preamble: % tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx Now test: texexec the following file (in utf-8). I have included a modified version of the one u already have for xtra practice-) Study \def\ArabicUTF: it uses raw omega/aleph commands, but see also m-gamma.tex (in the ConTeXt distro) for some higher-level commands \definefiltersynonym \definefiltersequence \usefiltersequence Have fun!
