This is what I tried, and got the same (wrong) result (Arabic characters not
correctly displaying in their medial and initial forms):
\score
{
\relative d'
{
c^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Al Bayan") "العربية" } d
e f g^\markup { "english" } f e d
}
}

The name of the font I tried "Al Bayan" is Arabic, so I think this rules out
font errors. I'm using a Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.6) and got the list of
available fonts by pressing command-T (in something other than TeXShop) since
executing the command above from within the Lilypond package
(/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin) didn't seem to work.

I guess that this is a bug after all. Is there anything further I should do to
get this bug in the queue?
Thanks,
