The problem is the font - OOo supports RTL, Bidi,  Unicode ... though it is 
buggy with farsi at some points. Anyways the font shows the same behavior in 
kedit.

Maybe you can try to edit another farsi font - if it results in the same 
problem you can assume that fontforge screws up some unicode/bidi tags in the 
ttf-headers.
