Urgent help required regarding reports Arabic Characters (Right to Left)

Hello Members

I am facing problem while deploying oracle reports on application server (Forms & Reports). I am using Developer Suite 10g 10.1.2.0.2 and same version of Application Server on Windows Environment. I have some fields in Arabic and some are in English. The reports output is in PDF format. I am also using PDF Subset fonts feature to subset the Arabic font problem.

Now the problem which I cannot is that I wanted that PDF generate report read Right to Left only for some specific fields not all fields. For example the following fields displayed as

395/دمام (Actually reading left to right and same saved in database)

But I wanted to be numbers are displayed first and then arabic word (dammam) while reading right to left.

My NLS_settings on developer suite and application server is “AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256”

When I am changing the nls_settings to “ARABIC_SAUDI ARABIA.AR8MSWIN1256”. It convert the whole report layout from righ to left and then it is not reading well the English fields i.e. left to right.
