Dear all, When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called “mashriqi”, or “Arabic-Indic”/“Arabic-Hindi” numerals. Is there some option when defining the font family? (I would have thought that using “\mainlanguage[arabic]” would have done it.) Of course, I am using a font that contains the numbers of that script. Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they appear correctly. MWE below. Best wishes, Talal ===== \setuppapersize[A6] \mainlanguage[arabic] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][ALMFixed][features=arabic,range=arabic,] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \showframe \righttoleft %\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two] \section{section one} \startlinenumbering \input ward \stoplinenumbering \footnote{I would like the footnote number — like the page number, section number, and linenumbers — to be in the so-called Arabic-Indic script.} \section{section two} مرحباً بالعالم. ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠ مرحباً بالعالم. \stoptext =====
