Hi all,
I checked in some Persian printed books, and noticed that the rule is
to write 18% or rather
۱۸%
However I don't know of any book in Persian on rules of typography.
But I am asking some people in Iran about the issue.
Regarding the treatment of numbers, indeed numbers are written (a

I think you're mistaken about the flexibility of human mind. Eight
digits may look like a lot, but that's really not a long string compared
to an average lin

Hello,
I don't know nothing about Arabic script, but wouldn't it be logic to ask
for "%81 or 18%" ?

Yes, sure; I still have the habit of having my luatex-cache in /tmp
and deleting it before every upgrade.

Hi Hans,
great: I now get Greek hyphenation with XeTeX as well! However,
there's a problem with mkiv: none of my mkiv-typescripts works with
it; I always get this error:

Hi everyone,
This topic has already been discussed on the list, but I didn't clearly
understand the conclusion, so I'm asking again... It is not clear to me why the
following
\everymath{\displaystyle}
\starttext
\startformula \frac{1}{A'} \stopformula
$\frac{1}{A'}$
\stoptext
fails with ConTeXt

Dear Steffen,
Arabic is read from right to left, so the the % sign in front of the
number, if you read from right to left, becomes actually after the
number. One of my co-worker originally from Lebanon confirmed this.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I have often seen (in arabic newpapers) the percentage sign set left
to the number "% 18".
Recently I read an article (http://sehstoerung.sonance.net/pdfs/
TitusNemeth_dissertation.pdf) that calls this "... the incorrect
placement of the percentage sign".
