xelatex not finding font on Mac

Question

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
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation I for 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.

Answer 1

Turns out that I needed to update my MacTex to MacTex2014, which fixes this issue.
