The font (at least my version) does not contain an em dash in slot
U+2014.

It rather seems that not you, but the font is missing something.

I get the same result here. However, if I compile with

  context --jit myfile.tex

I get Latin Modern instead of Hoefler. From the log file:

The font is there:

  mtxrun --script fonts --list --all hoefler

  hoeflertext          hoeflertext   /home/marco/.fonts/HoeflerText.otf
  hoeflertextnormal    hoeflertext   /home/marco/.fonts/HoeflerText.otf
  hoeflertextregular   hoeflertext   /home/marco/.fonts/HoeflerText.otf

Why does the font lookup differ between luatex and luajittex?
