The first aya, with a single one-digit number is not regonized
correctly, but the second is (with a two-digit-number). Why?
i tried to reproduce your issue but gave up because of the fact that
it's unclear what (version) of the font is used ... you switched from 10
to 09 and in 09 i see no 'big circular thing' so your version is
different from the one i donwload ... so, i cannot even be certain that
the font is okay ... so if you want to test:
- make sure that you use fonts consistently
- make sure we know where to get that version of the font
- make sure that corel draw (or whatever) is using the same font

Yes, that works. But the direct way works with Uhtmanic1HafsVer9: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicamiri بِـَٔايَـٰتِ \blank \arabicuth بِـَٔايَـٰتِ \stoptext I consider this wrong input so it is not supported by Amiri; the Hamza in بءايت is exactly the same Hamza in ءايت prefixed with ب, so the same Unicode character should be used in both, and Amiri goes to a great length to support this. Using a combing Hamza (which is a different Hamza) over a Tatweel is just a hack to emulate the same effect that you get “natively” with Amiri, I may support it in the future, but it is not a priority. If you read Arabic, the Amiri manual describes the proper Unicode sequences to input some of the Quranic marks that people get confused about because of the messiness of this area in Unicode (I should translate the manual to English, but time is always an issue). To be honest, in Corel Draw UthmanicHafs is the perfect font for my purpose - at least in CorelDraw - e.g.: The ayat-numbers are printed as a unicode-symbol, not as numbers (perfect, because ConTeXt has problems with the direction with arabic numbers, they are mirrored in ConTeXt). But it is only perfect in CorelDraw, in ConTeXt some things are not recognized correctly, as I mentioned. E.g. this one: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicuth لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢﴾ \stoptext If I put the same arabic into CorelDraw, it prints a nice Unicode-Symbol for the number - see the JPG I have attached here, screenshot from CorelDraw, but ConTeXt ignores the brackets and prints just a verys small number. There are some problems like this. Are they easy to fix, or is this problem deeply involved? This seems like a font hack, the proper way to input the Aya mark is what Ondřej describes in his reply.

Apparently, replacing a number enclosed in ornate parentheses (U+FD3E
and U+FD3F) with a number in the end of ayah ornament is a specialty
of the UthmanicHafs font. If I input the digit (e.g. U+0662) and then
the special non-printable end of ayah character (U+06DD), ConTeXt
and Amiri successfully output the digit inside the ornament.
Of course, since U+06DD is a non-printable character, it might be a
pain to work with in a text editor; you might want to define a custom
command for this purpose:
\def\eoa#1{#1\char06DD}

Hmm, ok. But if it is a speciality of UthmanicHafs, why CorelDraw
understands it natively?
Of course, since U+06DD is a non-printable character, it might be a

\def\eoa#1{#1\char06DD}
Thanks, that works fine:

\arabicuth لأَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ﴿٨١﴾\eoa

But now another question arises: How to input this command into my
unicode of quran automatically? (I am using notepad++). Not the best way
to do this manually for all 286 Ayas (and then search and replace for
all ayas of all suras).
And still: There must be some tricks in CorelDraw handling fonts, which
would be great to have in ConText :)
Thank you!

PS: Sorry for these annoyong thread-breaking all the time - I really do
not know, what I make wrong here. I am using Thunderbird. If anybody
knows how to use thunderbird for email lists correctly, I would be thankful.

Re: [NTG-context] Converting normal font into bold
Thanks, that works fine:
\definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\def\eoa#1{#1\char06DD}
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\arabicuth لأَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ﴿٨١﴾\eoa
\stoptext
Now I could locate the error in ConText better, see this code and the
mistake, which occurs:
\definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\define[1]\eoa{#1\char06DD}
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\arabicuth
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ
تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٦﴾\blank
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ
تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
\stoptext
(I have attached the compiled PDF).
The first aya, with a single one-digit number is not regonized
correctly, but the second is (with a two-digit-number). Why?
