Arabic Rasm font?

[Jean G. VALENTIN]

Dear colleagues,
Has one of you eve tried to write Arabic text without any diacritics - not even the dots that distinguish one letter from another? Can be useful for short quotes when hypothesizing on other readings of a given text.
I am trying to do this (with the Arabic fonts of Mac OS X) - generally speaking, it seems possible, except for ba, ta, tha. Anyone has an idea? Is there a combination of keys that I don't know or do I have to find a special font - and does it exist?
Thank you for any help.
Yours,
Jean VALENTIN from brussels

ArabTEX, the ingenious invention of Klaus Lagally is the best solution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArabTeX It s convenient, programmable, etc. I have set with it my large reference works, which comprise dozens of hundreds of pages. And it does not have all the downsides of the Microsoft or MAC, i.e. you can have dotless radicals, defective characters, unorthodox vocalization, dots, etc. And besides there is no upgrade, i.e. a text set 20 years ago can be retrievable today. However, you will have to forget then the Microsoft and MAC Arabic.
