I may be able to guide you in some way.. arabic is written right to left so the fonts wont work unless you have arabic windows or use a keyboard to type them.
Farsi, the language of persians has all the arabic letters including 4 extra letters. so its worth trying out farsi script generators.
if you are doing stuff in UTF-8 that would render in browsers then I would recommend you look at,

otherwise this application.
I havent checked any of these programs myself so be careful what you install. do a restore point if you have windows xp.

my arabic is very poor, but I can translate words to farsi if you like.

what I meant by a keyboard in the first line is a software keyboard.. that joins up the letters for you. arabic script is joined up. a bit like cursive latin script.

I lived in Egypt for 6 months. I can count and say all the basics and in fact Arabic can be beautifully spoken. Politics aside it can be a beautiful culture and that's what it's all about in the end isn't it? Your right though it is read and written from left to right same as Hebrew and most ancient langauges.
