Hi Ondra, thanks for your help.
Apparently, replacing a number enclosed in ornate parentheses (U+FD3E and U+FD3F) with a number in the "end of ayah" ornament is a specialty of the UthmanicHafs font. If I input the digit (e.g. U+0662) and then the special non-printable "end of ayah" character (U+06DD), ConTeXt and Amiri successfully output the digit inside the ornament.
Hmm, ok. But if it is a speciality of UthmanicHafs, why CorelDraw understands it natively?
Of course, since U+06DD is a non-printable character, it might be a pain to work with in a text editor; you might want to define a custom command for this purpose:
\def\eoa#1{#1\char"06DD}
Thanks, that works fine: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \def\eoa#1{#1\char"06DD} \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicuth لأَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ﴿٨١﴾\eoa \stoptext But now another question arises: How to input this command into my unicode of quran automatically? (I am using notepad++). Not the best way to do this manually for all 286 Ayas (and then search and replace for all ayas of all suras). And still: There must be some tricks in CorelDraw handling fonts, which would be great to have in ConText :) Thank you! Huseyin PS: Sorry for these annoyong thread-breaking all the time - I really do not know, what I make wrong here. I am using Thunderbird. If anybody knows how to use thunderbird for email lists correctly, I would be thankful.

because you can never be sure what microsoft or adobe has built in their machinery to cope with issues or provide as (default) features Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
