For scaling, we can specify a size, some thing like:

I don't know Arabic, but I've done similar things for Greek, and that is not a good interface. You want a scaling factor, so users won't have to worry about scaling in footnotes, titles, etc., an absolute size is not a viable alternative.
indeed. btw, i have no problem with a bunch of predefined combinations (using the fallbacks mechanism) so that users can quickly initialize a typeface \usetypescript[fancyarabicwithgreekandtraditionallatin] \setupbodyfont[fancyarabicwithgreekandtraditionallatin,13pt] or so, collected in some type-* file, but that's as far as we can go; we need to guard at least some minimal quality a quick start but with bad output is not the way to go Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
