Page looks fine on my Debian workstation. gfontsel tells me that there's
only one "Arabic" font available: 'newspaper'. xlsfonts lists:
-arabic-newspaper-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-p-0-iso10646-1
-arabic-newspaper-medium-r-normal--32-246-100-100-p-137-iso10646-1 You
can use xfd to display the characters. Looks promising. `locate
fonts.dir | xargs fgrep newspaper`:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir:arabic24.pcf.gz
-arabic-newspaper-medium-r-normal--32-246-100-100-p-137-iso10646-1
