Thanks. So to use font-dum.lua, Should I have \directlua { dofile(kpse.find_file("fonts-dum.lua","tex"))

}

?

Thanks. But it still gives error and that is (/home/vafa/texmf/tex/luabidi/luabidi.sty) ) (test.aux) ! Font \OT1/cmr/m/n/17.28=cmr17 at 17.28pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. <to be read again> relax l.10 \section{مقدمه} ? The error is understanable. But can it be fixed in the .lua codes or I have to write some macros to change this? Thanks

Thanks heaps Hans. It is working.

In ConTeXt, How do you make page numbers Arabic/Persian? Do you do that by some mappings?

there are numerous converters that you can hook into the numbering mechanisms but i leave it to the arabic experts to tell which one is best suited ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again. This is a sample Plain document. with Iran Nastaliq font Arabic alphabets are isolated. but in XB Zar font, we obtain the desired results.

Thanks. What I did that. But still that does not get the desired output. (pdf attached.). Maybe it is my fault. Do you get the correct output?

i don't read arabic so maybe others can comment ... i'll upload a new zip later this afternoon (does ik work ok in context?)

Can you also if you can prepare a short document explaining the syntaxt of the font command and options in the font argument? I thought ConTeXt reference should be a starting point.

it's just the xetex syntax + a few extra keys (like mode=node) and a prefixes like file: and name: keep in mind that this is not the same as in context (although we support the xetex syntax) as there we use featuressets with symbolic names

Can you also once you upload it, announce it so that I know? and the link will be http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip?

normally i mention it on this list and indeed it's that link; although in most cases users will sync with the minimals on the garden as it also has the latest luatex binaries Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 '+curs' as well, since the font relays on cursive attachments extensively.

Yes. That works. Thanks
