Hi there,
today I have the following issue:
In Arabic there is a character called "Lam-Alif", it is a composition of
"Lam" and "Alif", which is displayed usually in another way, than just
writing "Lam" and "Alif" after each other in the usual way.
See here:
لا
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet
For Arabic I use the font Scheherazade
\definefont[Shehkl][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 15pt]
\definestartstop[Arab][commands=\setups{Arabic}]
\def\Arab{\doArab}
\def\Arab[#1]{
\startArab
\noindentation
\setupalign[r2l]\Shehkl#1
\stopArab
}
which worked perfect, until today!
Now if I write \Arab[لا]
it is now not shown, like it should (and like your emailer will show it
probably correctly, too).
For conveniance I opened another, older, document, where the arab
worked, and compiled it again, with absolutely no change -> and again,
the same bug. What is the problem, what changed in ConText relevant to
this problem, if any?
I don't know ... if the old version has it too then nothing changed I
guess.
\usemodule[fnt-20]
\starttext
\setvariables
[otftracker]
[direction=-1,
sample=لا,
title=Test,
font=file:arabtype,
% font=file:husayni,
% font=file:scheherazaderegot,
features=arabic]
\stoptext
Arabtype is the only one that has the 'rlig' for that combination. So,
more info is needed about what should trigger this ligature replacemnt.
