Hi Hossein,

You are missing fonts I guess. You need to install/use some Unicode font that 
"support" Farsi.
This is currently the case for: Arial Unicode M$, Arial, Times New Roman, 
Clearlyu, Newspaper, Courier New, Unifont, Nesf

If you need Farsi fonts get them from here:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=bna

and read the guide on www.farsikde.org/guide.php (it is in English) to find 
out how to install those, should you need help.

Then choose the right font in the fonts setting of Konqueror if it doesn't 
work by default.

In case of Mozilla, you need to enable TTF in Mozilla and then choose a 
default font for Unicode in the preferences section.

I do not use Opera and do not how that one handles Unicode.

Good luck,
Arash
