This works ow because you load the typeface in the chapter settings
but in your last mail you used only the \myChapter Font without the
default typeface from \setupbodyfont.

I have added support for farsi in font-otf.lua. Ultimately we need to add
all unicode chars that submit to contextual analysis, like Urdu, Pashto
etc.
Until Hans gets back, do the following:
open font-otf.lua
go to line 4660
replace that definition with this one:
local isol_fina_medi_init = {
[0x0626] = true, [0x0628] = true, [0x0629] = true, [0x062A] =
true, [0x062B] = true, [0x062C] = true, [0x062D] = true, [0x062E] = true,
[0x0633] = true, [0x0634] = true, [0x0635] = true, [0x0636] =
true, [0x0637] = true, [0x0638] = true, [0x0639] = true, [0x063A] = true,
[0x0640] = true, -- tadwil
[0x0641] = true, [0x0642] = true, [0x0643] = true, [0x0644] =
true, [0x0645] = true, [0x0646] = true, [0x0647] = true, [0x0649] = true,
[0x064A] = true,
[0x067E] = true, [0x0686] = true, [0x0698] = true, [0x06A9] =
true, [0x06AF] = true, [0x06CC] = true,
[zwj] = true,
}
save and regenerate the format.
try your file again. Works here.
Note that artro.ttf does not seem to have the correct opentype info for
06CC, so it's not processed correctly.
Best wishes
Idris

Yes, at places the documentation is lagging behind. I can write about footnotes in the TUGBoat column about ConTeXt. When the manual is inadequate, I look at the sources.

[NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi,
I'm recently testing mkiv/luatex (ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.18 18:38 MKIV fmt:
2008.7.19 installed; compiling with 'context file') for a new project. I
don't know if my questions depend on mkii or mkiv specifics.
I have some problems figuring out what kind of parameters I can use to setup
footnotes in a multicolumn layout (is it better to use column sets and
define areas?).
When I'm using location=lastcolumn then footnotes get placed in the last
column *inside* the text column while when using firstcolumn as an option
they will be placed below the first column but outside the text column at
the end of the page. And both columns don't get balanced.
How can I get two text columns balanced and footnotes place on the last
column at the end of the page?
-
To illustrate what I want (x=text, m=footnote text):
A) If the page is 'full'
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
xx
xx 1. nnn
xx 2. nnn
xx nn
B) If the page is only partially filled:
xx xx
xx xx
xx xx
1. nnn
2. nnn
nn
-
How can I get footnote numbers aligned with the left margin of the
text/column block (margindistance=0em doesn't help)? Footnotes should run as
a 'normal' paragraph (no hanging).
I'm also quiet lost what options I can set with \setupfootnotes, because
they are not explained in the manual (ma-cb-en-print.pdf, p. 46;
cont-eni.pdf, p. 101) ...
My test file looks like this:
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\setupbodyfont [9pt]
\setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn,rule=off,numbercommand=\myfootnotenumber
]
\def\myfootnotenumber#1{#1. }
