These fonts date to the s. These are TrueType fonts, in the sense that they are. However, they make use of undocumented details not defined in the TrueType or OpenType specs, and do not conform to current specifications for how to implement Unicode fonts for Arabic.
By itself, the Windows Symbol encoding implies no interoperable character semantics, but rather implies font-specific semantics. Arabic character semantics are not established in the cmap subtable, as would be expected. Note that some of these fonts may also include cmap subtables for other platforms and encodings. Those should not be used, however. The fonts were created in an era in which single-byte encodings were used, and these alternate cmap subtables are likely to be redefinitions of the declared encodings.
Only a limited set of bits — bits 0 to 6 — are defined; remaining bits are documented as reserved and to be set to 0. In this class of fonts, however, values are set in the reserved, upper word of the fsSelection field. These non-standardized values are the way in which the character semantics are declared.
