... or a misunderdstanding:

\starttext
 
\definefontfallback[myfallback][dejavuserif*default][0x02d,0x2013,0x2014][check=yes,force=yes]
 
\definefontsynonym[mytestfont][file:Mikhak-Medium.ttf][fallbacks=myfallback]
      \definedfont[mytestfont*arabic]
      foo--ofo---oof [\char"002D] [\char"2013] [\char"2014]
\stoptext

for a ligature to be made all the glyphs involved have to come from the 
same font

I think you should wikify this (also because the font once complete is a 
nice one to use in examples),
