Mehdi,

What you are showing is a font problem: The font being used in the reports
doesn't have arabic glyphs, so it can't display
Farsi (or any other language using arabic script).  It also looks like the
layout is backwards, for L-to-R rather than R-to-L.

We use WebkitGtk for displaying reports (which are output in HTML). It
should be possible to customize the font selection
either with a stylesheet or with a WebkitGtk customization, but I'm not
familiar enough with WebkitGtk to give you instructions.
The WebKitWebSettings properties are documented at
http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitgtk/stable/WebKitWebSettings.html
You could try playing with setting up a gtkrc binding.
http://orford.org/gtk/ will get you started on how to set that up.

John Ralls
