Hi Fred, Hi Musa,

PLease find attached a sample file where Arabic and Persian are 
written with XeTeX and ConTeXt (XeConTeXt...).
I have tried a few ConteXt features which work fine with Arabic and 
Persian script, and I think almost everything can be adapted once one 
has in mind that "right" becomes "left" and vice versa...

One more thing: I wish I could use properly, that is in the elegant 
ConTeXt-ish way, such commands like \setupbodyfont[...] and other 
font related things. But at this point I am not good at handling 
fonts...

Best regards: OK
