Hi all,
i would like to typeset hebrew with context.
My not fully working example:
\starttext
\definedfont[name:narkisim at 20pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext
In the resulting pdf the vocalisations are on the left side of the
glyph, instead of being centered.
I append the result of context and the result of Libreoffice.
Is there a way to typeset vocalised hebrew with context or am I doing
something wrong?
Greetings Lutz

Depending on the font, correct niqqud placement requires some
combination (sometimes all) of the following font features: lang, ccmp,
and script. For Ezra SIL, I would use
\definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [
lang=heb,
ccmp=yes,
script=hebr,
]
\starttext
\definedfont[name:EzraSIL*hebrew at 72pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext
while for David_CLM the script feature suffices:
\definefontfeature [hebrew] [oldstyle] [
% lang=heb,
% ccmp=yes,
script=hebr,
]
\starttext
\definedfont[name:David_CLM-medium*hebrew at 72pt]
\setupalign[r2l]
טְרוֹפוֹתִי
\stoptext
You will have to find what works for narkisim.
There is a font feature hebrew already predefined
\definefontfeature [hebrewoldstyle] [oldstyle] [...]
if you have to set a language depends on the font (often dflt is ok).
This is the predefined set:
\definefontfeature
[semitic-complete]
[mode=node,analyze=yes,language=dflt,ccmp=yes,
autoscript=position,autolanguage=position,
init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,
mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes,
liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,calt=yes]
\definefontfeature
[semitic-simple]
[mode=node,analyze=yes,language=dflt,ccmp=yes,
autoscript=position,autolanguage=position,
init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,
mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes,
rlig=yes,calt=yes]
\definefontfeature
[arabic]
[semitic-complete]
[script=arab]
\definefontfeature
[syriac]
[arabic]
[fin2=yes,fin3=yes,med2=yes]
\definefontfeature
[hebrew]
[semitic-complete]
[script=hebr]
\definefontfeature
[simplearabic]
[semitic-simple]
[script=arab]
\definefontfeature
[simplehebrew]
[semitic-simple]
[script=hebr]
