arabic character sets

[pigrat]

I've recently designed a website which will be viewed in spanish, turkish, english, and arabic.

For the first three, I put the appropriate character set in the head tag which seemed to work fine. The arabic, however, is proving to be something of an enigma.

Apparently, some people use graphics to get round the problem, and although this would work as a last resort, I was wondering if anyone out there has successfully achieved this using an arabic font?

i've tried using arabic characters in Word, and it works quite fine ---> should be working if you embbed the proper font in your page (at least in ie !)
