To use a specific font just put it under the current directory where you run context, and replace ScheherazadeRegOT with your font file name. Then run 'context arabic.tex' .

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ
آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْزُقْنِي
الْيَقِينَ وَ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ بِكَ
وَ أَثْبِتْ رَجَاءَكَ فِي قَلْبِي
وَ اقْطَعْ رَجَائِي عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ
حَتَّى لَا أَرْجُوَ غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا
أَثِقَ إِلَّا بِك

Here is some mixed {\em Arabic-} (\ArabicText{عربي}) and
Latin-script. As you can see, Aleph does a very good job mixing
{\em LR} (\ArabicText{يسار-يمين}) and {\em RL}
(\ArabicText{يمين-يسار}) texts. \ArabicText{و
هنا جملة منقطعة في وسط قرينة
لاتينية}. Aleph even does a great job breaking Arabic
phrases across lines.
