Sorry for the late reply. I had this problem, but it wouldn’t show all the accents. Because there are so many.
OS X by default has a font. GEEZA PRO.
Settings | Video | Subtitles
Select Geeza Pro as your font.
Select Arabic (Windows) as the encoding.
If you have other fonts that’ll work please share.
Hi, I have the same issue, and I’ve tried to use the a/m font and encoding, but it didn’t work for me.
Can you please help in this regards.
Thanks

I have Sharp AQUOS lc-60le640x connected to windows 7 64bit and Plex Media server 0.9.8.18.290-11b7fdd ,some movies won't disply and the arabic subtitle won't appear at all !!!
Is there is any furhter intention to solve those problems .
To show Arabic subtitles in Plex, you have to use UTF-8 encoding:
- Open the subtitle file using Notepad
- Click on "File" then "Save As..."
- Rename the file to be exactly as the movie file name + ar.srt (e.g moviefile.ar.srt)
- In Encoding drop-down list, choose "UTF-8"
- Save the file and replace/delete the old one.
Hey guys,
There was a problem with showing RTL subtitles in the last years .. In PMS 0.9.9.10 Hebrew (I'm hebrew speaker, not arabic) was fixed and now showing perfectly (Even when Plex don't know sub's language). Anyway, i guess it's fixing the arabic problems too cause we both RTL ..

I tried the recent version of PLEX server, it display subtitle but in wired characters, seems something wrong in the font. I did not manage to change the subtitle font. any idea?

Make sure the subtitles file is encoded to UTF-8
I wrote a script to change all your arabic srt files inside a directory and all subdirectories under it to utf-8. this will fix your issue 
then create powershell script with the following and modify the path to match yours(don’t forget to run powershell as administrator and to run # Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted):
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Get-ChildItem -Force “Your Path to movies directory with the arabic subtitle” -Recurse -Include *.srt | ForEach-Object {
$file1= $_.FullName ;
$file2= $file1+’.utf’ ;
$d=$(.‘C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\file.exe’ -b $file1);
if($d -contains “ISO-8859 text, with CRLF line terminators”)
{
echo $file1;
.‘C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\iconv.exe’ -f WINDOWS-1256 -t UTF-8 $file1 | Out-File -LiteralPath “$file2”;
Move-Item -force -LiteralPath $file2 -Destination $file1;
}
}
This may have been an old post, but just for anyone who still has problems.
I find Subtitle Edit to be very effective!
it can do a batch conversion from any encoding to UTF-8
Can also adjust any subtitles timing and in-sync with videos
can also translate any language to arabic (by using google translate though)
converts .sub.idx (Vobsub) subtitles to SRT
just install it, do a batch convert and throw in the folders with srt subtitles
Dear Plex Team,

The problem isn’t from Plex Team, the problem is from the users uploading their own arabic subtitles in different encodes that does not support arabic letters (such as ANSI).
However, UTF-8 does support arabic/hebrew/persian characters. This only applies to SRT (text based) subtitles.
Either changing it manually or automatic.
Manually:
Automatic:
Use any program (Such as Subtitle Edit) and it can also batch convert multiple subtitles. Very easy.
EDIT:
There is a user who created an Agent that auto converts all SRT subtitles on your plex into UTF-8. Just search for an agent called something like SRT2UTF8
EDIT2:

Los Movies is the first website that comes to my mind. It has option to choose Arabic subtitles in a movie player
