We can add a couple of Persian fonts if there is enough reason
(different style, etc) to the distro, but still the Arabic fonts
should work for Persian too, and vice versa.  Because language
detection is not that easy, and sooner or later the Kacst font
will should up somewhere that the user has not set Persian fonts.
