the default conf file created by Mr.Elzubier sets the console2 to be square 
arabic while console3 is set to use regular shaping:
ig you want to make console 2 do regular shaping (no square arabic), you can 
load this conf file:
###################################
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Akka;
Akka::add_console(2);
Akka::set_keymap(2, "/usr/share/keymaps/akka/us-latin1.map", 
"/usr/share/keymaps/akka/arabic.map");
Akka::process_glyph(2, 1);
Akka::load_glyph_file(2, "/usr/share/consoletrans/iso06glyph.map");
`consolechars --tty=/dev/tty2 -m straight-to-font -f 
/usr/share/consolefonts/sample.f16`;

I use the framebuffer device with vga=791 and arabic seems to be great with 
akka, (no problems with that in my box)

In slackware , the script rc.font loads the default font and I can let it load 
the font iso06b.fnt instead of the default font , and this is - of course - 
done after I put the font in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts , maybe I didn't 
understand you properly.
