Dear gang,

I still have not had time to prepare the new how-to on Arabic and
ConTeXt, but I completely forgot that I already wrote one a year ago!
Just compile the ConTeXt format with eOmega and read the following:

http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega-example.html
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/README

The readme contains detailed instructions. Replace Omega1.15 with
e-Omega1.15. Also do the following in your texmf.cnf file before
compiling the format:

buf_size.context         =      200000 % needed for omega bug
%extra_mem_bot.context   =      4000000 % comment for omega/eomega
extra_mem_top.context    =      2000000

The second line should be commented as above (otherwise fpTeX will do
strange things...)

I can't believe I forgot all about this...

More info: For global right-to-left use

\textdir TRT\pardir TRT\bodydir TRT\pagedir TRT

in your preamble. You will need to add a

\hoffset=-8cm

to compensate for an omega bug in \bodydir.

For questions about any of this, please join the aleph mailing list and
I'll help as best as I can. The following documentation is incomplete
but helpful:

Best
Idris
