Let me add some new points on Square Arabic:
Pro:
Square Arabic would be an ideal font for symbols in RTL Arabic Math
(this exists, I just reviewed a thesis on that) just because it looks
sufficiently different from the running text, and shaping is not needed.
Con:
some fool might mistake it for Hebrew on first glance :-)
