The Linux console may never get proper RTL support; decent Arabic
support on the console would be hard to impossible given console font
limitations. Complex scripts are going to need X support; at the very
least, you're going to need to run in an Xterm or the like, since Linux
console is probably always going to be LTR, single width, and
non-combining.
