It works OK here: \sethebrew test3 \ConTeXt\ הָלַך test4 gives = test4 הָלַך test3 ConTeXt This is the way the macro is meant to be! I guess the tXeTnoC is indeed a result of improper copy-pasting. Unicode works with invisible formatting characters used to control bidirectional typesetting.

Hi, Like the bookmarks may result in some strangeness in certain documents Can someone tell me what kind of strangeness? Many features like dvi / metapost may produce strange result. you can search the mailing list and you can find plenty of them. And XeTeX can't use certain specials and

Thanks for the answers! Especially the tip about searching the mailing list! And if not, why should (or shouldn't) I use MarkIV over XeTeX? Since XeTeX does not provide most of the LuaTeX features. Does LuaTeX support right to left utf-8 Hebrew typing with ttf/otf fonts? Would it be (much)
