The font seems to be using contextual substitution instead of regular
ligatures (so the ligature glyphs are not really used, but alternate f’s
and i’s etc. are used instead to give the same effect, quite helpful if
you want to color only part of the ligature), so you may node to set
mode to node:
\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn,mode=node]
However, your example works here without any modifications (I added
color commands just to showcase the usefulness of this approach).
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn]
\setmainfont[Brill]
\def\r#1{\color[red]{#1}}
\def\b#1{\color[blue]{#1}}
\starttext
\r{f}\b{i} \r{f}\b{l} \b{f}\r{f} \b{f}f\r{i} \r{f}\b{f}\r{l}
\stoptext
Regards,
Khaled
