May I bump?
The following code used to work, but now it gives an error:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][mode=node,script=hebr,language=dflt,mark=yes,ccmp=yes] \setmainfont[Ezra SIL SR][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext ?????????? ?????? ????????? ???? ?????????? ?????? ???????? \stoptext
The following variant (without "script=hebr") compiles but the vowels are misplaced (not centered below the letters), which "ccmp=yes" (see http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_ae.htm#ccmp) is supposed to request:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][mode=node,language=dflt,mark=yes,ccmp=yes] \setmainfont[Ezra SIL SR][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext ?????????? ?????? ????????? ???? ?????????? ?????? ???????? \stoptext
The problem in definefontfeature seems to be that the feature "ccmp=yes" is not taking effect, and the feature "script=hebr" generates an error.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Michael, Sorry to say, no problem here with your example, and trimming the second line even further to \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][script=hebr,ccmp=yes] still produces results with no errors and proper nikkud alignment (run on a system running Windows 8.1 x64 and ConTeXt standalone 2014-04-28 standard and jit). Similarly, no problem with traditional font definition without simplefonts. What platform are you using, what version of Ezra SIL SR (likely 2.51, but worth asking)? -- rik kabel
