Hans and Otared, thanks a lot for your attention. I do appreciate your time.

Otared:

The fallback was called "dejavudefault" on my machine when I was testing it. I changed the name in the email, to make the lines shorter, but apparently I missed some instances—sorry—and that made it to the version I uploaded also.

Hans:

I'm really sorry for wasting your time with these low-quality fonts... but unfortunately these are among the few open-source Farsi fonts, and they are simple enough to be extendible. The font designer is not a professional, but accepts bug reports, suggestions, etc. So I spend some time finding issues and fixing/reporting them.

Could you explain a bit about the "identifying as a math font" part? What is the sign of that? To fix it, should I remove all the math-related fields in the font? Was the math thing only in the regular font or also in bold? Because I noticed the problem only in the regular shape.

it has a math constants table and a math script feature (but no math support afaiks) and in soem cases context does checks for a font being a math font

anyway, the next beta should (sort of) work

        Hi Mohammad Hossein,

        Your report is beyond my knowledge, but I would like to ask you
        a question about the setup of fallback fonts: why are you
        referring to « dejavudef » in the commands such as

\definefontsynonym [SahelBd] [SahelBold][features={arabic,tlig},fallbacks=dejavudef]

        while you have defined before « dejavudefault » (and not «
        dejavudef ») in:

        \definefontfallback[dejavudefault][dejavusans]
        [range=generalpunctuation,check=yes,force=no]

    indeed. but on top of that, the font reports itself as a math font
    so that confuses the fallback mechanism (we have fundamental
    different approaches for math and text fonts) ... i'll try to deal
    with it but to some extend consider spending time on crappy fonts a
    bit of a waste
