    The X server works with truetype fonts, so that's a place to start

    Arial Unicode MS if you can find it is supposed to be good. Otherwise,
    normal Arial supports ISO-8859-6 which is Arabic script... this is
    what Farsi uses, no?

    Otherwise, the SIL fonts are a good place to look
    http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&cat_id=FontDownloads

    Also, I've heard ClearlyU has good Unicode support
    http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/cu.html

    Good luck
