Actually, the dotless script in this picture looks interesting...

Just found this:

"http://islam.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sakkal.
com%2FArtArabicCall
igraphy.html"

As you can see, the last letter, T, is identical with the second, B. And
there
is no difference between S and Sh, and between P and Q, and between G and H.

Other letters, which are (slightly) different, such as Z and R have been
merged in modern Arabic, thanks to the disambiguation of added dots (thus
Z is R with a dot on top).
