I've been looking at this. We do have language support in both
OpenType and Graphite in Scheherazade. However, as I've looked at
the documentation for XeTeX I see no mention of how to choose a
language in Graphite, only in OpenType. So maybe using a language
isn't supported in XeTeX Graphite? If that's the case, then you need
to turn on the specific features required for a particular language.
So, if you want to use Sindhi features you'll have to turn on
Sindhi-style Meem, Sindhi-style Heh, and Sindhi-style Eastern
digits.<br>
<br>
AFAIK, Scheherazade 1.005 wasn't a Graphite font so I don't
understand what you were seeing there.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Thanks, Khaled. I had wondered about
this--which is why I specifically chose the Graphite renderer
in the font selection. (According to the "Font Features for
Scheherazade 2.000" on the SIL web site, both the language
selection and the meem/heh shaping should work in either
OpenType or Graphite. Rohingya is available as a language
selection only in Graphite--but fontspec doesn't recognize the
language.)<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Is there a reason a hybrid font
wouldn't work properly if a specific rendering technology is
chosen? (Specifically selecting the renderer worked great in
solving my small-caps problem.)<br>

It seems that Scheherazade ≥ 1.900 is a hybrid
OpenType/Graphite font,<br>
so this is the same issue as:<br>

(This will be fixed in next year’s version of XeTeX, the
workaround in<br>
the above link can be used in the meantime.)<br>
