Hi, Karlj�rgen, Arabeyes (http://www.arabeyes.org/) is a meta project that aims to provide full support for Arabic in the GNU/Linux environment. Although geared toward GNU/Linux, they also provide (or provide links to) vector fonts (TrueType, possibly also OTF) which will certainly also work on Windows and quite possibly also on OSX. Arabeyes also has some other very interesting projects, including ITL (Islamic Tools and Libraries) which has a Hijri date library, and Katoob (a light weight, multi lingual, BIDI-aware text editor based on the Gtk+ 2 library) which might meet your text input needs if Yudit (http://www.yudit.org) isn't sufficient. The version of Yudit that I have installed (2.7x) comes with two Arabic keyboards pre-installed.
