I'm not sure if you know about this, but there is SDL-Pango http://sdlpango.sourceforge.net/ which allows using Pango with SDL applications. I believe that using Pango provides very fine Arabic support compared to other solutions that relay on the incomplete Unicode presentation forms (it doesn't cover Pashto for example). Also fine typographical features like proper tashkil placement, that we add to the latest release Arabeyes fonts, can't be accessed without an OpenType capable rendering engine, and Pango is the most mature FOSS one.
