What does it look like instead of Arabic? Send me a screenshot if you want (tom at bluesky dot org).

In general iWork support for Arabic is too buggy to make it usable for most purposes, but I would think it should be able to read Unicode Arabic OK.

I don't think there is any way to fix the RTL bugs in iWork, you need to use different apps. But here is note related to the issue that might be useful:
