Yes, that solves my problem, Will, and removing the
second \newfont{instan|fa}ce solves the original
problem, I think :
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontface\dhivehifontA{Mv Elaaf Normal}
\newcommand{\dhiA}[1]{{\dhivehifontA #1}}
\begin{document}
\dhiA{ޓީވީއެމް އާއި ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ އަޑުގެ ނަން ބަދަލުކޮށްފިއެވެ.}
\end{document}
