Wolfgang,

thanks for looking into it!

does this mean there is some bug in CONTEXT/LuaTeX font loading or
something wrong with the font?  i looked at the history on bitbucket mirror
and the problem seems to have started when we moved from 2016-08-11 14:00:00
 to 2016-08-15 22:45:00.

the offending lines in tex/context/base/mkiv/font-ots.lua (line 3762) has

kerns={
 [1705]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [1707]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [1711]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [64400]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [64404]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [64469]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [65243]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
 [983071]={
  [2]={ 0, 0, -290, 0 },
 },
}

and with k, v = 1705, { 0, 0, -290, 0 }, we want to dereference v[1][3],
which leads to an error.  prior to this change, the code was looking up
v[3] (which would result in nil but no further dereferencing to cause an
error).  i checked that this part of the table was the same with the
previous version (from 08-08).
