With my setting you create a new font feature ”arabic” which inherits the setting from the ”default” features with the extra settings “mode=node” and ”script=arabic” while your settings extends the ”default” features with these values. I did this because you use the ”arabic” font feature in the \definemainfontfallback setup but i forgot that context already has a “arabic” feature which enables a lot of font options which you need.

Maybe in the list archive but often such things are discussed offline, i found it myself in the source.
> Or are there any preexisting example files of complicated Arabic that I could study and learn from?
I guess the wiki page you already know is currently the only source.
