Thank you Arthur for your reply, Looking at your result it is indeed ok. On my laptop (MacOS) and my brother’s (Ubuntu), the described problem occurs. -- I thought already, it is related to the font itself. I tried in the meantime Liberation-Regular-Sans which gives the right result. Thank you for your input! Willi

I have a little project for preparing a vocabulary for an Ivrith student. — The text should be typeset with Arial. However, when I try to use it I get the vowel points between the glyphs instead of thereunder.

Example, please :-)

The following, adapted from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew#Hebrew, works well from me:

---- cut before \starttext

\definedfont[name:arial*hebrew] Hello, World!

\setupalign[r2l] בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יְהִי אוֹר; וַיְהִי-אוֹר. וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאוֹר, כִּי-טוֹב; וַיַּבְדֵּל אֱלֹהִים, בֵּין הָאוֹר וּבֵין הַחֹשֶׁךְ. וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לָאוֹר יוֹם, וְלַחֹשֶׁךְ קָרָא לָיְלָה; וַיְהִי-עֶרֶב וַיְהִי-בֹקֶר, יוֹם אֶחָד.

\stoptext ---- cut after

Best,
