[XeTeX] arabxetex Fonts are not connected

Sorry for this mangled request. I don't know, why my mail-client is mangling
the line-endings (or is it the mail-server?). I was already wondering, why
some of the emails here on this list are all on one line; and now it is
happening to me too. I try now with Mac-line-endings ... (hope this helps!)


Hello all!
Compiling the following file, I get only not connected Arbic Fonts in
thepdf-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/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
