The below shows the available Arabic Fonts from FA Website:
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/downloads-for-release-2.3fonts.php
These fonts are TCPDF fonts. Its is meant for printed reports and are defined in ./reporting/includes/class.pdf.inc.
Three things in mind when using languages fonts in FA. Fonts in FA are  used in three sections of the application.
1) Display of menus, tabs and other on screen and are defined in the template .css (i.e default.css if using default theme). These are usually a .ttf files. On the net you will find thousands of Arabic .tff fonts that you can use in your .css theme.
2) The print fonts or TCPDF fonts are available from the FA download above.
3) A special  font for the FA Dashboard for displaying Arabic in graphics is also available from FA downloads at
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/downloads-for-release-2.4.php
These can also be used in .css themes. The need to define these fonts in FA  for dashboard graphics is now not needed starting from 2.4.10 because of the new dashboard.

Having said that you can use a utility to convert .tff fonts into TCPDF fonts and use for printing.

Example. I live in Dubai and a popular font here is dubai.tff font which I download from dubaifont.com. I use this font in my default.css and it works great. Then I use an online utility to convert this font to TCPDF which I use for printing reports. Now I have the display and print to have the same font.

@poncho1234 helped me a lot in working out my .css and TCPDF. A discussion was as below:

Re: Arabic Language Fonts

Which font you are using. ? So it shows OK on the screen but when you print its not? You might need to separate عبد and الله treat them as two separate words.

Re: Arabic Language Fonts

For those who do not want to use Arabic specific fonts, a way around this is write Allah this way اللّه ِALEF LAM LAM SHADDAH HEH. This will be understood by most Universal Fonts that support Arabic.  عبداللّه
