===== Original Message From r.ermers@hccnet.nl, mailing list for ConTeXt users ===== Thanks Thomas for the manual. I have already printed it, and cannot wait to give it a try.

Which manual??

In the mean time I welcome any other concrete tips for installing a new font, step by step that is.

Someone on this list did this a couple of years ago or more; does anyone remember the link to that? If you recall the earlier postings: my idea

would be to start with a new font consisting of only one pfb file.

Try the Garamond experiment, then analyze type-ugm in light of the fonts manual. <snip>

In the end my ideal would be a context which typesets Arabic, Russian and Turkish, plus transcription according to a code I developed myself.

For transcription, you can use aleph. By the end of this year or sooner there should be a new advanced Arabic-script package. Hopefully, one day aleph will be integrated into pdfetex (long term) or at least the aleph-dvipdfmx combo will have all of ConTeXt's capabilities (short term).
