For standard LaTeX there is an old Persian font included in the package 
"Archaic":
	http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/archaic
I used it a little and it looks good.

I also saw an Unicode font, Alphabetum:
	http://guindo.cnice.mecd.es/~jmag0042/alphaeng.html
but I have not tried it. Since old Persian has not been encoded yet, it 
has to use a private area of Unicode, but perhaps it does not matter 
for you.

Kind regards,

Yves
