Umm... the fallbacks are correct. My conclusion is that tlig does not work
when the character is not in the font itself. Is that the case? Is this a
bug or a feature?
\starttext
\definefontfallback[fall][dejavusansmono][0-0xfffff][check=yes,force=no]
\definefontsynonym[Test][file:Mikhak-Medium.ttf][fallbacks=fall]
\definefontfeature[tf][arabic][tlig=yes]
\definedfont[Test*tf]
foo--bar
[\char"2013]
[\char"2014]
\stoptext
