Thanks to Eureka, I finally got it going! ;fc-cache did the trick, I suggest it is placed in the main instructions for the USE_ALT_FONTS hack.
As for the Arabic fonts (I use Persian) - you need to use proper Unicode TTF fonts, or those supporting the full set of Arabic/Persian script. Beware that they are some quirks, particularly with font size. I suggest using, and experimenting, with JBPatch's font size patch, now available for Paperwhite.
