I don't know which site are you referring, but nice to know that u r using Mandrake :-)
here we are facing the drakfont problem again :P
as root:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/
ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
mkfontdir 
/etc/init.d/xfs restart

ttmkfdir is available from freetype-tools

after this arabic should be fine even without changing your local

if it didn't work, just send me your fonts.dir and/or fonts.scale in the above directory.

btw: i'm using M$ fonts "tahoma" from my windows installation.
