Hello Otared
Thanks a lot. The problem solved, but the graphemes are separated, I mean,
each word is printed with separated graphemes. Any ideas? I also tested
Scheherazade arabic font from the following address:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=ArabicFonts_Download
But the problem still remains.

Regards
Ali
