Re: [NTG-context] Installing an arabic font
seems like an issue with liga ... i'm not sure if that's a context problem
Hmm, see in the attachment the output of MS-Word, with activated ligatures. So it has to do anything with ConText, or not? Or maybe this font uses in some way properties of Word in handling fonts? Huseyin

i don't know what word does, but it probably uses the volt machinery. ... maybe Khaled or Idris knows given that context can deal with more complex fonts i doubt if it's a context issue (hard to track down as the tracer doesn't indicate any mark position on that ligature) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

If the font has OT layout tables Word will just use them, no tricks (as far as glyph positioning is concerned). The font is fine with other OpenType engines as well, e.g. HarfBuzz, so it is probably a ConTeXt issue. Regards, Khaled
