It doesn't always work, indeed.

I'm guessing "some years ago" you used different versions of the same
fonts. A font that was OK in the past could regress later.
For correct complex shaping, it is very important to find good fonts.
I suggest to look for a good Arabic font that is fixed-pitch, and use
it instead of DejaVu Sans.

Done.
