OK. Yes, Shabredo should be able to do this. AFAIR there is no binary with the 
package we supply, only source code. So you would need to compile it and we 
supply some scripts to do this for you.
In any case, I will try this tomorrow from office and see if I can send you 
the same text in both encodings.

BTW: It would be great if someone would try Shabredo with regard to Arabic and 
see if it is useable and if there are any bugs. We didn't write the whole 
thing, but made some modifications to the source and put it under GPL.
