Thanks for that tip, Arthur. I, too, considered that it might be the
font that was giving me problems (among other things, mainly my lack of
understanding of r2l!), so I swapped to Amiri and then used the setup
below which I then called in whenever needed -- it seems to work. But I
will take a look at DejaVu Sans.
\definefont[ArabicFont][file:Amiri-Regular.ttf*arabic at 11pt]
\startsetups arabic
\setupalign[r2l]
\ArabicFont
\stopsetups
