[XeTeX] using ConTeXt with XeTeX ?

[Otared Kavian]

Dear Steffen,

On some occaions I do use a version of XeTeX + ConTeXt, called  
XeConTeXt, and the following (slight modification of your file) works  
fine on my machine:

%%%%%%
%% you can uncomment the following
%% two lines: the result is the same…
%\usetypescriptfile[times]
%\usetypescript[times]
\mainlanguage[de]

%% I don't know how the command \setupbodyfont[…] may be used…
%% but this works:
\definefont[Arabic]["Baghdad" at 10pt]
\definebodyfont[times,10pt]["Times" at 10pt]

\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]

\starttext

{\switchtobodyfont[14pt] A famous football player}
\blank

Zinedine Yazid Zidane (in arabic
{\Arabic
زين الدين يزيد زيدان
}), nicknamed Zizou

\stoptext
%%%%%%%
I am running this on MacBook Pro, Intel based, under Mac OS X 10.5.1.
If things are slow on your machine, it may be due to the fact that a  
certain font size is generated during run time, but actualy I don't  
knwo :-)

Best regards: OK
