I just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04. Now any Arabic text is displayed as squares, as shown in the image below. I tried installing the Arabic language pack but this did not solve the problem.

1-After installing arabic language you should see in languages menu if you not see you should add by check arabic from install/remove languages.
2-if still the same after rebooting in regional formats tab temporary choose العربيه after rebooting change it again to your default language.

Note : if prompt to update an external feature you should update.
