Problem with vocalised hebrew
Hi all, i would like to typeset hebrew with context. My not fully working example: \starttext \definedfont[name:narkisim at 20pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext In the resulting pdf the vocalisations are on the left side of the glyph, instead of being centered. I append the result of context and the result of Libreoffice. Is there a way to typeset vocalised hebrew with context or am I doing something wrong? Greetings Lutz -- GPG Key ID 3C4F83BC

Depending on the font, correct niqqud placement requires some combination (sometimes all) of the following font features: lang, ccmp, and script. For Ezra SIL, I would use \definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [ lang=heb, ccmp=yes, script=hebr, ] \starttext \definedfont[name:EzraSIL*hebrew at 72pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext while for David_CLM the script feature suffices: \definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [ % lang=heb, % ccmp=yes, script=hebr, ] \starttext \definedfont[name:David_CLM-medium*hebrew at 72pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext You will have to find what works for narkisim. -- Rik
Thank you very much Rik,
your settings for EzraSIL are working nicely for my favorite font Narkisim.
Thanks again
Lutz

You will have to find what works for narkisim. There is a font feature hebrew already predefined
\definefontfeature [hebrewoldstyle] [oldstyle] [...] if you have to set a language depends on the font (often dflt is ok). This is the predefined set: \definefontfeature [semitic-complete] [mode=node,analyze=yes,language=dflt,ccmp=yes, autoscript=position,autolanguage=position, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes, liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,calt=yes] \definefontfeature [semitic-simple] [mode=node,analyze=yes,language=dflt,ccmp=yes, autoscript=position,autolanguage=position, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes, rlig=yes,calt=yes] \definefontfeature [arabic] [semitic-complete] [script=arab] \definefontfeature [syriac] [arabic] [fin2=yes,fin3=yes,med2=yes] \definefontfeature [hebrew] [semitic-complete] [script=hebr] \definefontfeature [simplearabic] [semitic-simple] [script=arab] \definefontfeature [simplehebrew] [semitic-simple] [script=hebr] Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
