What this means is that you have some font in your system that
pretends to cover Arabic, but just has the unconnected forms,
and not the real OpenType GSUB tables and connected forms.

The mostly likely culprit is the 'freefont' fonts. If you have
the Mandrake package for these installed, remove it.
