newotf definefontfeatures problem with script=hebr

12 Jul 2015

      The following code fails; however, it succeeds without newotf, and it 
succeeds with newotf if the defined font feature (*hebrew) is removed 
from the \definefont command. The characters that demonstrate the 
problem are HEBREW LETTER LAMED combined with HEBREW POINT HOLAM, 
followed by HEBREW LETTER ALEF (U05DC with combining U05B9 followed by 
U05D0). I have not come across other combinations that cause the 
problem, but I have not done an exhaustive search.

    \usemodule         [newotf]
    \setupdirections   [bidi=global]
    \definefontfeature [hebrew] [default] [lang=heb,ccmp=yes,script=hebr]

    \definefont        [Hebrew] [sileot*hebrew]
    \starttext
       \startTEXpage
         This is okay:{\hfill\Hebrew לא}

         This is okay:{\hfill{\Hebrew לֹ}}

         This fails:{\hfill{\Hebrew לֹא}}
       \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

It reports:

    error:
    C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-ots.lua:1586:
