When loading the font, you should do something like the following, but I have not tried it myself.

Dear All, Hello,

I am trying to use "fontsampler example" with Persian fonts (please see below or "http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/Fontsampler" for fontsampler codes). The problem is that Persian words apears as a string of separate glyphs, for example I get "ح‌س‌ن" instead of "حسن". Do I have to use commands like the followings inside \directlua or tex.tprint to fix the problem? If yes, how can I do that?

\installlanguage [fa][default=pe,date=\longjalalidatefmt] \mainlanguage[fa]

\definefontfeature[tlig][tlig=yes] \definefontfeature[slanted][slant=.2] \definefontfeature[dlang][language=dflt] \definefontfeature[flang][language=far]

Thanks Mingranina

Dear Mohammad, Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply. I forgot to mention that I had modified the fontsampler codes so that I can use it in ConTeXt with Dabeer module.

However, inspired by your reply I could get it to work in LuaTeX but not in ConTeXt with Dabeer module.

Are there any other set of features that I can test?

Thanks, Mingranina

It is a module for Persian typesetting in ConTeXt. Please see:

I am a novice in LuaTeX and ConTeXt and to learn these I tried to
modify FontSampler code (http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/Fontsampler)
to get a sample of Persian fonts in a directory hierarchy too.

BTW, at the moment my problem with LuaTeX is that the page numbering
is in english. Do you know how to change the page numbering to Persian
in LuaTeX?

 Thanks,
 Mingranina

Dear Mohammad,
Hello,

\pagenumbering is not defined or redined in XePersian. In fact, in
TeXLive 2016, it is only defined in the following files:

texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx
texmf-dist/tex/latex/feupphdteses/feupphdteses.sty
texmf-dist/tex/latex/kluwer/kluedit.sty
texmf-dist/tex/latex/kluwer/kluwer.cls
texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfwin/pdfwin.sty
texmf-dist/tex/latex/romanneg/romanneg.sty
texmf-dist/tex/plain/gustlib/plmac218/plidxmac.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/makeindex/idxmac.tex

I think it would be better to look at arabluatex's code for solving the problem.

Regards,
Mingranina
