While \definefontfamily method works, I can't get the \definedfont method
to work.


\setupalign[r2l]
% this works

%\definefontfamily[mainfont][rm][KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh][features=arabic]

%\setupbodyfont[mainfont]


\starttext

\definedfont[KFGQPCUthmanTahaNaskh*arabic]

سلام

\stoptext



It complains that the font is not found.

fonts           > defining > font with asked name 'KFGQPCUthmanTahaNaskh'
is not found using lookup 'file'

'thedefinedfont--0'
