Hi,

the following example compiles fine with LuaTeX, but LuajitTeX fails
to find the font.

\setupalign[r2l]
\definefont[Sheherazade][name:scheherazade*arabic at 18pt]
\starttext
  \Sheherazade أهلا بالعالم!
\stoptext

The font is in the font database and regular LuaTeX succeeds.

  mtxrun --script fonts --list -all scheh

  scheherazade         scheherazade   /home/marco/.fonts/scheherazade/ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf
  scheherazadenormal   scheherazade   /home/marco/.fonts/scheherazade/ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf

This might be related to the thread from a few days ago:

PS: The font can be found here:

thanks for the report. Currently I'm not able to  investigate these issues, I will take them on the first week of September.
