This is  font issue .. the font you are using as a general font should be a 
font that support Arabic ..
you can change the font from KDE Control Center ( kcontrol) from Look N Feel-> 
fonts .. select a font that support Arabic encodings ( the encoding is 
iso10646 , which is UTF8)
I suggest that you import Windows fonts, as there is a shortage in fonts that 
have Arabic fonts .. we here at arabeyes are working in filling this gap and 
shortage, by providing Arabic TTF fonts that are open and freely available..
