Abhinav, there is no "Arabic font", strictly speaking. "Arial Unicode MS" supports Arabic subset, but it is not "Arabic".
If this is really question marks, the problem is not font. It it was the font it would show boxes or nothing. The problem is that Unicode is lost by conversion to ANSI somewhere down the road. I am sure, yes. I have no idea where.
