Just a couple of days ago, someone posted some example
code using Arabic. It was called ArabicExample.
I tried it out and it worked great under both
1.2 and 1.2.1. Admittedly, it was only a couple of characters.
Here it is, with my apologies to the author.
The important thing is to use Swing. Regular AWT won't work.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class ArabicExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame f = new JFrame("ArabicExample v1.0");
    f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) { System.exit(0); }
    });
    f.setSize(200, 200);
    f.setLocation(200, 200);

    JTextField field = new JTextField(10);
    field.setFont(new Font("Lucida Sans Regular", Font.PLAIN, 12));
    field.setText("\u062e\u0644\u0639");

    f.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    f.getContentPane().add(field);

    f.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Hope this helps.
