If your default font is an Arabic font, then the numbers should be displayed correctly. Make sure that the font you are using does actually include Arabic numbers (try it in a different program -- Word or Excel for example.)

BTW, although the Arabic letters are assigned differently (there is not a straight letter-to-letter transliteration) ALL non-Latin fonts (e.g. Greek, Cyrillic, Farsi, Hebrew, etc.) use the same ASCII characters for numbers, whatever they might look like. The only real problem comes if the font designer does not realise that the font should have its own numerals and simply omits them or uses European "Arabic" numerals instead. There is also a standard Arabic ASCII character set too I believe.

I had a lot of fun with it when I worked in Bahrain.
