[NTG-context] Problem in arabic script
I use context+luatex to write farsi texts. A problem that I have been faced is that some characters (those that are in farsi and not in arabic like Gaf, Kaf, Ya and Che) are shown only in isolated form. How can I solve this problem. I use ubuntu and latest context and luatex.

Hi Mehdi, what font are you using? Have you tried with a different font? Burak On Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 1:13 AM, Mehdi Omidali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use context+luatex to write farsi texts.

Re: [NTG-context] Problem in arabic script
Hi Burak, I almost used any font from ubuntu, Microsoft, and Mac, but the problem is the same for all of them. As an example please see http://www.omidali.com/test.rar in which I have included the source file and the output. I have used 3 different fonts, namely, Arabic Transparent and Time New Roman from windows, and SimplifiedNaskh which I found in a thread by Idris. Thanks. Hi Mehdi, what font are you using?

I have added support for farsi in font-otf.lua. Ultimately we need to add
all unicode chars that submit to contextual analysis, like Urdu, Pashto
etc.
Until Hans gets back, do the following:
open font-otf.lua
go to line 4660
replace that definition with this one:
local isol_fina_medi_init = {
[0x0626] = true, [0x0628] = true, [0x0629] = true, [0x062A] =
true, [0x062B] = true, [0x062C] = true, [0x062D] = true, [0x062E] = true,
[0x0633] = true, [0x0634] = true, [0x0635] = true, [0x0636] =
true, [0x0637] = true, [0x0638] = true, [0x0639] = true, [0x063A] = true,
[0x0640] = true, -- tadwil
[0x0641] = true, [0x0642] = true, [0x0643] = true, [0x0644] =
true, [0x0645] = true, [0x0646] = true, [0x0647] = true, [0x0649] = true,
[0x064A] = true,
[0x067E] = true, [0x0686] = true, [0x0698] = true, [0x06A9] =
true, [0x06AF] = true, [0x06CC] = true,
[zwj] = true,
}
save and regenerate the format.
try your file again. Works here.
Note that artro.ttf does not seem to have the correct opentype info for
06CC, so it's not processed correctly.
Best wishes
Idris
