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

Hard to say what is the issue but it is not a luajittex issue. We don't do anything special, for instance jit is turned off because there is no gain at all (actually with jit enabled, the run is slower). So we only use the luajit virtual machine (in mkiv).

There is however one difference and that is the compiled lua code: lua and luajit have incompatible formats (apart from the fact that luatex is 5.2 and luajittex is 5.1++). Normally compilation happens automatically i.e. when a font is loaded by luatex, context will generate the relevant compiled file when luajittex is used.

One possibility is that there is some mismatch in version numbers that gets unnoticed. In such case, as Aditya suggests, wiping the cache is an option.
