I'm trying to use the polyglossia package along with xelatex to compile some Arabic text. It seems that xelatex is not recognizing the fonts that I have installed.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script = Arabic]{Scheherazade}
\begin{document}
\begin{Arabic}
انطلقت الثورة الليبية منذ أكثر من سنة متوازية مع ثورات الربيع العربي الأخرى التي
\end{Arabic}
\end{document}
When I try to compile this using xelatex, I get the following error:
kpathsea: Running mktextfm Scheherazade/ICU

l.13 ...\arabicfont[Script = Arabic]{Scheherazade}
I'm on a Mac and I've tried to search for answers to this. I've made sure that the Scheherazade font is installed on my computer (it appears in FontBook). I've tried doing
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script = Arabic]{Scheherazade-R.ttf}
as well to no avail. Any suggestions? It seems like it's not recognizing the font even though it's installed on my system.
