Hello all!

Compiling the following file, I get only not connected Arbic Fonts in the
pdf-output: 


\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{arabxetex}
\setmainfont{Minion Pro}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.2]{Scheherazade-AAT}
\begin{document} 
\begin{tabular}{@{}l*3{l>{\begin{arab}}r<{\end{arab}}}@{}}
  \multicolumn{7}{c}{Prefixes and suffixes of the Arabic verb}\\
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Perfective}
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Imperfective}
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Subjunctive and Jussive}\\
  \multicolumn{7}{c}{\textbf{Singular}} \\
  3rd (m.) 
  & STEM\textbf{-a} & كتبَ
  & \textbf{ya-}STEM & يَكتب
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\emph{no written change}}\\
  3rd (f.) 
  & STEM\textbf{-at} & كتبَتْ
  & \textbf{ta-}STEM & تَكتب
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\emph{no written change}}\\
  \end{tabular}
\end{document}

The Font Scheherazade is installed three times, on my Mac (10.4.11):

/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/arab/Scheherazade.t
tf

and

/Library/Fonts/Scheherazade.ttf
~/Library/Fonts/ScheherazadeRegAAT.ttf

compiling this file I get the following error:

" Font "Scheherazade-AAT/ICU"does not contain script 'Arabic' "

Any help would be greatly appreciated
