[NTG-context] Non-printable Unicode control characters

2008-08-15 Thread Khaled Hosny
Unicode has many "control characters" that only control text behaviour and shouldn't be rendered visually in the text, such as Bidi_Control and Join_Control chars (see http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd/PropList.txt and http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html) Currently, ConTeXt handles ZW

Thanks, Taco. After installing ConTeXt 2008-08-04, I have cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex and texmf-var/web2c/xetex Installing ConTeXt 2008-08-15 has the same files in the same places, though I gather that it replaces cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex with as TeXExec | tex: 14/08/20

[NTG-context] Enabling character mirroring without enabling "implicit bidi"

2008-08-15 Thread Khaled Hosny
Currently, \enablecharactermirroring[1] also enables "implicit bidi", but, unfortunately, current ConTeXt bidi implementation isn't very useful. I know this is work in progress, but I like to be able to have simple character mirroring i.e. \textdir TRT will mirror all brackets as it currently make

[NTG-context] Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice

2008-08-15 Thread Khaled Hosny
Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice, I think this happens when a ligature can be divided into subligatures, say ABC ligature where the font has an AB ligature, in this case A+B+C get rendered as ABC+AB. See the attached example. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and mem

[NTG-context] AUCTeX issues not necessarily ConTeXt-related

2008-08-15 Thread Charles P. Schaum
A while ago I mentioned a ``Problems after [n] pages'' issue in AUCTeX when using ConTeXt with it. Recently I used LaTeX and, hey presto, I was able to reproduce the same message. I ran LaTeX, then re-ran it to get the references right. I then ran it again and got a ``Problems after [0] pages'' me

Dear all, I try - as indicated in the title - to put the caption of a figure on its right side.
