Arabic ligatures

Hello,

I need to visualize arabic language. Right now fribidi works  
perfectly for hebrew but with arabic letters I still have a problem.

The text consists of the real Unicode values and when they are  
printed they must somehow substituted with ligatures. I am not in  
arabic but there seems to be a letter for beginning, inside and end  
of a word.
Is here a library or does fribidi supoort the calculation of this?

Regards
Till
