So I followed Carl Sorenson instructions (posted on 3/11/11 to this list) for
compiling Lilypond on a Mac and got the compile to go through. Here's what I
get when I try to build a score:
Zamzam:bin samir$ pwd
/Users/samir/bin
Zamzam:bin samir$ lilypond samai_bayyati_arabi_qadim.ly

I tried this on 2.12.3-1 (MacOS 10.6) and 2.13.47 (MacOS 10.6). I see the same
problem in both versions.

This is what it means:
Zamzam:bin samir$ ./lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x
So this seems like a bug after all. How do I get this into the queue? I'd be
more than happy to help out with testing.

This is what I tried, and got the same (wrong) result (Arabic characters not
correctly displaying in their medial and initial forms):
\score
{
\relative d'

Has anybody experienced a problem with getting Arabic text to display correctly
in their scores? Here's a
snippet that contains properly formatted UTF-8 Arabic:
\score
{
\relative d'
{
c^\markup { "العربية" } d e f g^\markup { "english" } f e d
}
}
