If you have an intelligent Arabic printer, it could do the glyph
selection by itself. Obviously, printers that accept iso8859-6 should
be able to do that. However, I do not know whether such printers
exist.
Otherwise, we have to pass the content of the buffer to a filter for
glyph selection.

I believe the old Mule Arabic charsets will be abandoned eventually.
Even now, mule-unicode-* covers all Mule Arabic charsets. There is no
need to cling private charsets badly designed by a Japanese. :-)
