| To display Arabic content on a web site does the IIS server that is
hosting the web have to have Arabic fonts installed?

| No. That is a client issue. All you need do on the server is put the
correct:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-US" />
That is US English. You'll need to find ther correct charset and content
code for the Arabic you want:
This is mostly .NET stuff but it basically explains how the Headers should
be set up in the HTML.
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/...g_codepage.mspx
But again the user must have the fonts for your pages to display correctly.
All the headers do is say, "Hey use this charset." If the user doesn't have
them IE will do the best it can which will probably be goop.
