[NTG-context] Adjusting overbar for a special font
Hello there, I tried to overbar an arabic word, and noticed, that the bar is too low and overlaps the letters. While producing a minexample, I noticed that this might be a issue of my font, because this does not happen with Arial. See this minexample: \definefont[arial][name:arial*arabic at 12pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 12pt] \starttext \startalign[r2l] \arial كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \arabicuth كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \stopalign \stoptext and compare the compiled pdf in attachment. You can download the used font-file UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf here: http://fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa/download/UthmanicHafs1Ver09Font.zip We have discussed this font here month ago, hans commented: yes, but calling this a normal font is somewhat over-the-top So it is quite special - but still best available font (free or commercial) for typesetting the holy quran. But setting the bar a bit higher should be easily possible, independent of these font-lacks, right? The solution should be independent from the chosen font-size. Thanks!

http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/070738.html Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang, but this solution is not independent from the size of the font, and so had to be adjust for each size again (bad for my project, where the font-size changes on nearly every page). Which unit has this offset? \setupbars[overbar][offset=3] I tried the font-independent unit em \setupbars[overbar][offset=3em] but that does not work.
