Tried that one more time with wine 1.3.29, this seems to be some font
substitution problem, I'll demonstrate:

I tried to paste the text from the text file posted by Austin, at first some of
the glyphs appeared as other glyphs and some didn't show up at all.

I tried switching the font and typing in Hebrew, Apparently with FreeSans I was
able to see all the Hebrew glyphs but no Arabic glyphs although I wrote the
word عربي in gucharmap myself so there's no reason it shouldn't work, then I
changed the font to Arial and finally I was able to see both Hebrew and Arabic
together.

I think Paul Vriens has already suggested a font substitution mechanism that
would solve this kind of cases, Can't remember when it was...

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.
