Hi, I tried Alephs body and textdir commands with LuaTeX and the output in DVI mode is as I want (the text is written from top to bottom and left to right). The same example in PDF mode did not work, the text is written on the left side and every new line written over the first line.
Vertical typesetting is not a priority at the moment. At this stage, getting bidirectionality as solid as a rock takes precedence (almost there IMO). So if you find any bidi bugs... ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Why would they disagree? There is a huge difference between a) "Vertical typesetting is not important" (obviously false, is there in dvi mode); and b) "Vertical typesetting [in pdf mode] is not a priority at the moment" (facts of development life) Prioritization is inescapable... :-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
Hi Yannis,
