this is a minor issue for now. more important is figuring out why
Ossama didnt see the arabic text, although the chars are encoded
well, and the font is embedded and the names are the same.
and also making sure everything works fine. then there is a
_BIG_ task of converting the whole patch to conform to CUPS'
coding standards...
but i will eventually get to it ISA.

this is different since CUPS' filter writes the whole .PS file from
scratch and it points out every char/string 's (X, Y) position. so
it needs to keep the same (X, Y) coordinates for the harakat as
the previous char.
