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.)
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.)
