All of these fonts are already included in SuSE Linux 9.3.
See the ftp version for example:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/noarch/farsifonts-0.4-3.noarch.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/noarch/fonts-arabic-0.20040113-3.noarch.rpm

You can use these font packages on your SuSE 9.1 system if you like.
