Font features doesn't seem to work with fallback fonts (or I didn't get it right). See the attached file (has some comments) -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

keep in mind that this is still somewhat experimental and that i might add a bit more control over things % This doesn't use the fallback featue, so is OK \definefont[ArabType][Arabtype*fea] you need to keep in mind that the *featureset specification is notr always interpreted, so you need to specify the feature with the (symbolic) font name: \definefontfallback [ara] [Arabtype*fea] [arabic] [force=yes] \definefontsynonym[Arabicserif][Serif][fallbacks=ara] % This renders Arabic, but no OpenType features \definefont[Arabic][Arabicserif] we might deal withthe following later but currently it is not supported % This doesn't render Arabic too \definefont[ArabicFea][Arabicserif*fea] (one aspect of fallbacks is that each 'subfont' can have its own features so inheriting from the parent font is not a good idea) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

you need to keep in mind that the *featureset specification is notr always interpreted, so you need to specify the feature with the (symbolic) font name:
\definefontfallback [ara] [Arabtype*fea] [arabic] [force=yes] \definefontsynonym[Arabicserif][Serif][fallbacks=ara]
Aha, I should somehow expected that (given all the combinations I tried).
we might deal withthe following later but currently it is not supported
% This doesn't render Arabic too \definefont[ArabicFea][Arabicserif*fea]
(one aspect of fallbacks is that each 'subfont' can have its own features so inheriting from the parent font is not a good idea)
Right, it might not be desired at all. Thanks, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team
