Use Mozilla 1.1 It supports Arabic on both OS 9 and OS 10.2
I had the guys at Apple store download the OS X version of Mozilla and  
we
were able to view Arabic without having the Arabic fonts installed.
Thanks,
Mohammed Rahawi

Hello

Internet Explorer should show Arabic script, but you have to
choose 'View', 'Encoding', 'Arabic'. Otherwise, download Sindbad
from www.sakhr.com which enables you to see Arabic texts on
Mac.

Arabic text in (Adobe page maker) should be saved in text format
first then you can transfer it into a text format that can be read on
Windows. To do that use the Windows platform with the help of a
program which you can download from the page of Knut Vikor at
www.hf.uib.no/smi/ksv/arabhome.html


I hope this will help

On OS X, including Jaguar, IE doesn't have the option of choosing  
"View," "Encoding," "Arabic" or anything like unto it, as far as I can  
tell.  Perhaps the above advice is for System 9 or before.

The sakhr site says they don't support Sindbad anymore, and there are  
no obvious downloads for Mac.  All appear to be for the PC.  So unless  
someone gives me more evidence, I would discount the first paragraph of  
the above advice.

Subject: Use Kalimat

Layout Ltd. and AramediA Group announce the
release of Version 3.0 of its top-selling Arabization
utility, Kalimat.  Thousands of installations in the
Arab world, designers are well acquainted with the
utility, which allows them to use Arabic with all
Macintosh illustration and photo retouching programs.

Users simply type and edit text in Kalimat and
export it to non-Arabic applications, such as Adobe
PhotoShop and Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand.
The end result is creation of stunning effects in
Arabic, with no need for an Arabic operating system
or Arabic Language Kit.

Improvements in the enhanced version are initially
evident in an innovative new user interface.  Then
comes a range of powerful additional features.

Users can now export multi-line paragraphs, use
palettes and measurement units to resize windows
for easy text export, export selected text only,
and import Arabic text from both Macintosh and
Windows platforms.  Users can also create Farsi,
Jawi, and any other right-to-left language in
Kalimat.  Further, Kalimat comes bundled with 30
high quality Arabic fonts. Additional fonts are
available optionally on CD-ROM from Layout's
extensive fonts library.

Kalimat 3.0 full packages (USB & ADB versions) and
upgrades are available for immediate shipping.
