The most likely problem is that a font is being used that doesn't have
proper Arabic tables. RH 9 doesn't include any good Arabic fonts, so
you'll get a random font that might include Arabic characters, but
doesn't really work in Arabic.

If you install Arabic fonts (I've put one package that should work

fontconfig at them:
