what a waste of 3 hours with this pisa

the beautiful http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ does arabic out of 
the box for those who might search in future
as simple as: $ wkhtmltopdf file.html file.pdf
and watch the magic

تحويل
html
الى
pdf
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

so it get indexed in google and other search engines
