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
