Hello,
I tried to type with the arabic font "Amiri" by K. Hosny. You can
download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiri/
In this download-page you find a nice example of the font, setting the
sura "Al-Fatiha" (first section of the Holy Qur'an). I tried to regain
this example with ConTeXt, but failed.
Here is my try:
\definefont[amiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\define[1]\Arab{\amiri#1}
\starttext
\Arab{بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ}
\stoptext
But that doesn't compile here. I get this error:
! LuaTeX error
