Hi there,
today I have the following issue:
In Arabic there is a character called "Lam-Alif", it is a composition of "Lam" and "Alif", which is displayed usually in another way, than just writing "Lam" and "Alif" after each other in the usual way.
See here: لا http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet
For Arabic I use the font Scheherazade
\definefont[Shehkl][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 15pt]
\definestartstop[Arab][commands=\setups{Arabic}]
\def\Arab{\doArab}
\def\Arab[#1]{
\startArab
\noindentation
\setupalign[r2l]\Shehkl#1
\stopArab
}
which worked perfect, until today!
Now if I write \Arab[لا]
it is now not shown, like it should (and like your emailer will show it probably correctly, too). For conveniance I opened another, older, document, where the arab worked, and compiled it again, with absolutely no change -> and again, the same bug. What is the problem, what changed in ConText relevant to this problem, if any?
I don't know ... if the old version has it too then nothing changed I guess. \usemodule[fnt-20] \starttext \setvariables [otftracker] [direction=-1, sample=لا, title=Test, font=file:arabtype, % font=file:husayni, % font=file:scheherazaderegot, features=arabic] \stoptext Arabtype is the only one that has the 'rlig' for that combination. So, more info is needed about what should trigger this ligature replacemnt.
