There is a web page using the CSS technique I have mentioned here - view the HTML source to see how the CSS is used with Unicode character encodings :
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/translations/arabic.html
Before using any CSS based solution , you will have to emit the correct character encoding for your document : these should work for your users --
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-6"> or
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">
You might find some help here - its the Arazilla (Mozilla) arabic fonts program :

They have a mailing list which might be more appropriate to your problem.
subscribe to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe>[EMAIL PROTECTED] by putting "subscribe" in the subject.
describe your point or your suggestion to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
