Dear List,
Working with ConTeXt MK IV version 2016.07.18, I need sometimes within a
text in French I am working on, some Greek words or sentences, rarely
Chinese and Arabic words, mainly names and a few words.
Then, I use this general preamble (thanks to Pablo Rodriguez):
\setuplanguage[fr][patterns={fr,agr}]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\setuplayout [backspace=40mm]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={header, inmargin}]
\setupmargindata[inmargin][location=inner,
style={\ssx\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}]
\setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=right]
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
% Hereafter the commands for Greek and Chinese
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][Theano Didot][preset=range:greek,
it={Old Standard Italic}, force=yes]
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [ipaexmincho]
[range=cjkunifiedideographs]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [GaramondNo8][sc=NewG8 Regular SC]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [FreeSans] [rscale=0.7]
All is working well, but if I add these lines below to the pramble:
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [sans] [hussaininastaleeq] [range=arabic]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [GFS Didot]
(where hussainiastaleeq and GFS Didot fonts are pre-installed, and load
with a '|mtxrun --script fonts --reload' command), then Arabic words are
not printed in the PDF file.
One more question : in the English translitteration, the name of the
tenth century Arabic philosopher, Farabi, is |Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī (with
diacritic signs on wovels and under the 's' of "Nasr"). Do someone knows
how to deal with these diacritic signs ?
Thak you very much.
JP
