I think the Farsi font contains medial and final glyphs for each
letter; this PDF displays every letter's word-final glyph, rather than
the characters in each word being joined using the medial glyphs, as in
Latin "cursive" script.

Dear Teus,
Thanks for the file.
Everything looks OK except the way each letter appears. The
letters appear disjointed, i.e. instead of being joined together, they
appear separately. If that is resolved then as far as I can see
everything should be fine.
I am very grateful for your efforts in correcting the problem.
Every blessing,
Pooyan
Hi
Pooyan,
There is a Farsi pdf file available at
http://filebin.ca/adxsg/farsi.pdf.
It was created throught the ptx2pdf macros and XeTeX.
How does that one look? Are there still problems in it, and if yes, what
are the problems?
Teus.
