Hi Mingranina, As Wolfgang said, if I fix the name of the key in \setmainfont (from « feature » to « features », see below), then your test works fine here (using Mac OS X 10.8.4, and ConTeXt ver: 2013.08.07 14:40 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.8.7). By the way in mkiv you don't need to add \enableregime[utf-8]: by default ConTeXt uses utf-8.
