 This is due to the use of the wrong font. An arabic font should be
 installed on the image (I will update this bug with a specific font
 name(s) soon) and the gecko settings should be explicitly set for the
 different generic font families and the "ar" language group in prefs.js

Comment (by khassounah):

 Replying to [comment:1 dcbw]:
 > Khaled; do you know of a suitable font that we can _freely_ distribute
 (and we must be able to allow others to redistribute!!) that we may
 include?  We do need to look carefully at the license of whatever font we
 include, if it is not the one we currently include.

 Yes, there are a bunch that are open, some GPLed and some with similar
 licenses. There are others, but King Abdul Aziz City for Science and
 Technology's GPLed fonts are a great start (download link at
