But when you write, you probably write numbers in persian already? > like chapter, > section, \chapter and \section are a bit buggy as far as numbering is concerned, but you can use \setuphead [section] [conversion=arabicnumerals] > figure, and even formula numbers Try \defineconversion [ar] [numbers] [\arabicnumerals] This one doesn't work on sections (same argument as Aditya pointed out), but it does quite a lot already :) Can you try it out and report? I didn't try it out (no idea how to work with Arabic), but I consider it a much cleaner approach than redefining characters in fonts. (You could also use \setupformulas[conversion=arabicnumerals], similar for tables, ..., but in theory you should not need anything else but \defineconversion [ar] [numbers] [\arabicnumerals] in lang-ara.tex if that's of general interest.) > (most of the people even > prefer persian digits in formulas which is possible in xetex). > As you know, the Mapping=farsidigits in a font definition works > perfect in xelatex. I would say that ConTeXt lacks a nice interface for that at the moment. There is tlig/trep feature that works that way (remaps ' to rightquote for example), but it's spread all over the place and might be likely to change. One option are fea files (like the one Idris pointed you to). Still, I would go for "conversion", not for redefining fonts. Redefining fonts is just an ugly hack that happens to solve a problem temporary. People use it just because it's too difficult to do it in some other way.
