Many thanks. Question: Is this use of setups now the "official" or
preferred way to handle footnote typography options? On the surface, it
appears to be overkill. For the declaration
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
shouldn't that mean that bidi is applied, well, globally?
For \definedfont the behavior is less surprising, since that is obviously
a local command. But is setups the official way to globalize the command
(aside from typescripts or simplefonts)?
Best wishes

Dear gang,
In the attached/following example, bidi is not applied in the footnote:
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
\starttext
\definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt]
Test امتحان test
\startfootnote
\definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt]
Test امتحان test
\stopfootnote{}
\stoptext
Is there something else that I need to do? Thanks in advance!
[Also: Is there a way to not have to declare \definedfont twice?]
