Can you provide an example?
I am not aware of any known issues with Arabic text
handling. In fact I've heard that Batik's rendering of
Arabic is good. However, Arabic is an extremely difficult
script to layout well.
This may also depend on the font used (Batik
implements Arabic glyph replacement so the first
and last glyphs in each word are replaced, it is
possible that the 'base' font doesn't include the
initial/final forms of the glyphs so Batik might
jump to another font which could account for the
problem).

undoubtedly, but as I said, people have said that
Batik's rendering of Arabic is pretty good.
