I guess if it were me, I'd start by looking for a similar font which will hopefully be made well. The op seems to have solved his problem, so we know that Inkscape can use at least one arabic font. K40 Whisperer will convert text to paths for you when the design is loaded. You can use the dialog that opens to create the text then change the stroke color to red/blue to engrave/cut. So that leads me to wonder if those things could prevent an arabic font from being displayed at all (in Inkscape, Inkscape being an SVG editor). To access the Hershey Text fonts in Inkscape go to Extensions-Render-Hershey Text. I did find one report, where a developer states that there are aspects of arabic fonts for which the SVG (and CSS) standards aren't clear. I did a very tiny bit of research, looking for whether there might be a bug with arabic fonts. I wonder if you could find the same font made by a different person or group or software? If it's a font that you paid for, I certainly report the problem to whoever made the font, or supplied it (if it came with software). But whether I can reproduce it or not, I'm not sure if it would be helpful. If it's a free font, and you can provide a download link, I could try to reproduce the problem. It could be that the font is not very well made, as in my experience, Inkscape is picky about font quality. But the fact there is no preview of the font in the menu indicates (in my simple way of thinking) that Inkscape can't display it, for some reason. It looks like the font is installed properly, or else I don't think it would show up in the menu in Inkscape.
