The fonts you appear to be using are

MS Shell Dlg -> Tahoma  (should work)
Arial -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf (may not have
arabic)

if it is the Arial font that is causing the problem there are 2 ways we can try
to fix it.

1) substitute Arial for something with arabic. 

For this one, run wine regedit
open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows
NT->CurrentVersion->FontSubstitutes

Right click and add new string value with the key of "Arial"
then double click on that value and add the name of the font you want to
substitute.

2) Add a font link for Arial to something with arabic.

For this one, run wine regedit
open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows
NT->CurrentVersion->FontLink->SystemLink

Right click and add new multi string value named "Arial"

then double click on Arial and add a new value of fontfile,face name

so for example Japanese uses MSGOTHIC.TTC,MS UI Gothic

With Arial defined either of these ways does winecfg improve?

What font are you using for Arabic, Maybe I can install it on my linux box and
try to figure it out also.
