Hi Hans,
Thanks for the new beta.
As Idris pointed out, the logic you follow for naming greeknumerals,
romannumerals, persiannumerals, arabicnumerals, and all others in core-con.lua,
makes sense but I didn’t notice this logic before… Which means one may learn
each and evry day :-)
As far as

Hans, the beta is a solid step forward regarding bidi and Arabic support, and

However, it appears that my earlier declarations of ‘problem solved’ were a bit
premature. Footnotes display everything correctly,

Just to note: all numbers in the body text are having their digits placed
individually right-to-left. Notice, in the attached PDF, how the ١٤ is
displayed as ٤١, and how ١٨٧٢ is ٢٧٨١ … but also the footnote marker is ٣١
instead of ١٣ as it correctly is below in the footnote itself.

In my opinion, I think that the numberings should be maned as follows:
arabicnumerals: should be ١,٢,٣,٤,٥,٦,٧,٨,٩,٠

Thank you very much for this, Idris. It works nicely in the sample file you

Thank you very much for this, Idris. What with the other bugs and problems I’ve
faced with R2L (in footnotes, etc.), I was starting to wonder whether a more
explicit, rather than global, use of RTL might be a better approach. I’m going
to experiment with them, at least to learn how to use them
Dear Talal,
Salaam.
Your tex file linertl.tex appears to be corrupted, could you either repost
it or send it to me off list?
I was also going to write something similar to Pablo. My suggestion is to
move forward with the rest of your project and this will almost certainly
be solved
