Hi Otared, I also tried with Nadeem, and I had exactly the same problem.

I was looking for arabtype.ttf too, but I did not want to jump through the
MS group registration hoops, in the end I settled for this file of the same
name IIRC
http://www.4shared.com/file/40464607/d4ea457f/arabtype.html?s=1

installing a ttf on mac os is a matter of double-clicking (font book opens),
and pressing the "install font" button. The font ends up in ~/Library/Fonts
:D
