Ok, last one, I promise: 
Check out Mahee of Acre's site, with his illusionary arabic script.  
He uses arabic style strokes, combined into english style letter forms - looks somewhat arabic,
but would mean gibberish to anyone reading for arabic.   
His site is at: http://www.geocities.com/mahee_of_acre/index

And his gallery is at: http://geocities.com/maithgen/
where there are some sample islamic works.  

I also was told there is an older Tournaments Illuminated, or perhaps a 'Proceedings' 
book from the Knowne World Heraldic and Scribal Symposiums that offers another persons 
format of an illusionary arabic script style.  

Good luck, Hillary
