AFAIK, it isn't possible to remap the code2000 fallback font with the older K3/K4 fonthacks.

Only some of the older Kindles and Kindle PW2s with a 4.5.x firmware can be downgraded. For details search the
Kindle Developer's Corner.

AFAIK, this would only be possible with a jailbreak and a fonthack. However, AFAIK, the K4 font hack doesn't allow you to remap the code2000 font that is used for Arabic. If you want to be absolutely sure, please ask in the
Kindle Developer's Corner.

I use
Sigil 0.8.4 with my simple
Kindlegen plugin. However, if you want to convert multiple ePubs, it's probably more efficient to use
Calibre. (Both Calibre and Kindlegen will automatically convert properly formatted Arabic ePubs to azw3 books without further modification.)

No. For details see my
5th post.
Note: Font hacks are not required. AZW3-compatible Kindles will display Arabic texts with diacritics
without further modification. However, some diacritics will overlap letters and the overall readability isn't ideal. If you can live with these
cosmetic issues, you don't need to install a font hack.
