Thank you all for your replies. I haven't been succesfull in getting the result right. I downloaded the attached files and tried those, and arabic was displayed using Arial, I also tried different other fonts such as ScheherazadeRegOT, but in all cases the letters are not connected correctly, each letter is displayed standing alone. Also vocal signs are lost even with ScheherazadeRegOT.
Anyway, I found this application: https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ It uses webkit to convert from HTML to PDF and the result is great with regard to fonts. No FO file is needed. Links within the PDF file doesn't work, but I think I can live with that. I think I'm gonna give up on FOP for now and use webkit HTML to PDF instead.
