Dear all,
Two quick questions regarding footnotes and Arabic:
1. How do I get a footnote rule/marker to go from right-to-left (i.e. to begin
at the right margin instead of the left margin)?
2. I would like some of my footnote streams to run RtL for Arabic, and also for
those footnotes to be

\hbox{\vrule height \z@ width \z@ depth \...@tempdimb}%

Seeing how systematised ConTeXt is, I'm assuming something much simpler could

This is important for anyone working with mixed language (font) texts. In my
example, the overall document is Latin-based (e.g. English), with a paragraph
of Arabic text; I want this Arabic paragraph as a whole to fit onto the grid

to get my head around fonts and bidirectionality using ConTeXt MkIV (as a
rather unsophisticated user, not as a developer).
To begin with, since it's all bit much at once, I'm trying to use simplefonts.
