Hi Idriss,
As Mohammad Hossein pointed out, adding a setups solves both problems you
mentioned (font declaration and bidi in footnotes):
%%%%% begin test-bidi-footnote.tex
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
\startsetups[bidi:footnotes]
\setupdirections[bidi=on]
\definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt]
\stopsetups
\setupnotes[footnote][setups=bidi:footnotes]
\starttext
\definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt]
Test امتحان test
\startfootnote
Test امتحان test
\stopfootnote{}
\stoptext
%%%%% end test-bidi-footnote.tex
Best regards: OK
