I am trying to set text in the Syriac font Estrangelo Edessa.

[script=arab]
\definefontfeature[syriac]

[fin2=yes, fin3=yes, med2=yes]
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][estrangeloedessa]
[range={syriac},
features=syriac]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][STIX Two Text]
[protrusion=quality,
expansion=quality,
mode=node,
force=yes,
features={default, f:oldstyle}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 20pt]
\starttext
Hello world!

[syriac]
