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, Simos Xenitellis http://simos.info/
