 KacstFarsi from the Kacst fonts should be a good start.  Not sure if the
 coverage is enough though.

 Urdu Nastaliq Unicode is a very good looking one.  Maybe not the best for
 web use.

 Two good Arabic fonts with very broad coverage and reasonably sized are
 the SIL Lateef and Scheherezade ones.  Any of those two should be enough
 for Arabic and Urdu in the olpc.  Scheherezade being the preferred one
 IMO, though your Urdu and Arabic users may have differing opinions.

 There are also the FarsiWeb fonts but they lack coverage for Urdu and
 don't have a very clear copyright owner.
