Try to convert the type to curves, and then connect the separate elements manually. Of course, this is an efficient way only if there isn't alot of text to connect.
Hope that helps !

You can try changing the Tracking from the Character palette (window -> character)

I found this on web.....

Illustrator does not support the character sets of some non-Roman fonts (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew, or Cyrillic), even when you are using the Arabic Windows language kit or Arabic version of the operating system.

Adobe suggests that you consider purchasing the Middle Eastern version of Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator CS -ME.


the best you can do is what has been suggested, adjust manually, letter by letter, or connect manually...I often do this with particular fonts, using the pen tool, I connect:)
