While the default font on Fedora console is the latarcyrheb, but
I should mention that Arabic is a complex script, and just
cating Arabic Uniode text on console does not give you what you
want. Arabic needs special handlings, called bidi/joining, that
need their external application. I'm working on one, called
BiCon:

This is the soft way to enable Punjabi fonts "soon". I
think you can get
fonts in the kernel as mentioned by Gertjan but this requires prompt
action and then patience :)
So am I missing anything here? What does it mean to include your
fonts in the kernel? The kernel has a few fonts, but I'm almost
sure it's not supposed to be the place to add localized fonts.
Good luck,
