Hi

Does that work now?

Best,

Hi everyone. The following example works fine with MkIV, but fails with latest LMTX.

To be specific, the lam-alif ligature isn't working. Compile with both to see differences.

Majalla is a Windows font, so I guess it's available for testing:

\mainlanguage[arabic]

\definefontfeature

[arabic]

[mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab,

init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,

liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,

mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes]

\definefontfamily[main][serif][sakkalmajalla][features=arabic]

\setupbodyfont[main]

\setupdirections[bidi=global]

\starttext

أهلاً وسهلاً

\stoptext

Is that a bug or are more features to be specified? Thank you in advance.

Jairo

Hi, Hans. Could you please check this out? It works for MKIV, but in LMTX vowels are misplaced. Thank you in advance.

It works here but i have different code in the meantime. We're in a transition to an lmtx version of the font handler. In lmtx we need to do a bit more checking when we are in in compact font mode so it might be that there is temporary loss of some functionality. In principle mkiv and lmtx should do the same as there is no real change in logic.)

I'll push an update later today,

Hans
