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
fonts > defining > font with asked name 'scheherazade' is not found using lookup 'name'
fonts > defining > unknown font 'scheherazade', loading aborted
fonts > defining > unable to define 'scheherazade' as 'Sheherazade--0'
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.

I occasionaly have similar troubles with math fonts (font works with
luatex but not with luatexjit or vice versa), but a
mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force
fixes that.

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.

I can confirm that. I did not find a real-world document which
compiled faster with jit. Using the virtual machine provides between
8% and 25% speed gain here.

Let me know if I can provide any additional info.

That helped, indeed.

there is a bit more to gain otherwise (luigi and i will talk about speed
related issues at the context meeting)

ok, but currently i have no clue
(it might be that there has been a fix without jumping the internal otf
handler version number, in which case a mismatch can go unnoticed and no
recompile happens in the jit variant)
