Yes, there do exists arabic fonts.  There is a company that makes a program
called Muli-Lingual Scribe that is a wordprocessor supporting about 5 or
10 languages including arabic, hebrew, cyrillic, greek and several others.
They have drivers for the various languages, and have fonts as well.  I think
that they work with dot matrix printers and some lasers in dot matrix emulation
format.  I'm not sure where they are located, but a good PC program refernce
should list them as they have been around for a while.
