May be ConTeXt experts would have better suggestions, till then you may want to look at the fake bold option in simplefonts - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simplefonts#Faking_italics_and_bold_fonts
Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately I did not manish to work with this font by simplefonts. I use the following simple setup: \definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \starttext \arabic\setupalign[r2l] ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ \stoptext How can I get these "fake bolds" with this setup? Or is it absolutely necessary to use Simplefont for these fake-bolds? Thanks. Huseyin

The feature is unrelated to simplefonts. Wolfgang
