@r004 I understand and I have no idea since I don't speak Farsi. I do speak Greek however, which has the same problem and using programs like the above and text like "English Ελληνικά" would allow me to identify the fonts that display that correctly. I was thinking you might be able to do the same by using an example sentence mixing English and Farsi letters.

@r004 yes, my suggestion is a horrible solution. I hope someone offers you a better one but this is unlikely since not many of us will know Farsi, and by extension, not many will know a specific font to suggest to you. I just thought you might find it a useful workaround, feel free not to use it. By the way, are you the OP? If so, please merge your accounts.

@m_hmt yes, as I said to r004 this is just a workaround. Alternatively, you could also google "Linux fonts farsi" and have a look, I got several hundred hits.

@terdon; Sorry about that; I meant that was not what he asked. I think Persian is like Arabic;(according to Wikipedia). and Dejavu fonts have the full set of right to left glyphs.
