Sorry for the __VERY__ late reply, really am.  I was able to see the
Arabic without issue using "ghostview" (gv-3.5.8), I just had to copy
the font file (the .pfa file) in the same directory as the .ps I was
displaying and it showed without issue.

The output that was displayed looked very odd, things were shaped but
the spacing was all off (and this was not due to harakat either).  I'm
attaching a small screenshot to show you what I mean and I'd be more
than happy to mail you more detailed shots in private if you so desire.

Hope that helps and keep up on this effort - I'm here to help/test.

Salam and again sorry for the delay.

 - Nadim
