Hi Hooman,
Have you tried KWord of KOffice? It is quite good and works well for Farsi.
Another choice is going to be the new OO.org if you want to have it on both
platfomrs. At this moment however, it seems that the new OO.org will work for
Farsi on Red Hat only, as it ships with a patched XFree86.
Try them both and see which one suits you better.
Good luck and greetings,
Arash
