Hi Behrang
Make a a folder named "ttffonts" under the /usr/local/share/fonts. 
download Persian fonts from:
http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/Fonts_Persian.html
and unzip the font in that folder. 
you may need to install the msttcorefonts package. 
It was what I did in ubuntu today and the Firefox displayed the Persian
fonts correctly.
