there are some gratis fonts for windows that work fine under linux. They are found at www.kurditgroup.org, the most popular is "unikuweb" (Unikurd Web) . I have contacted the authors and asked them whether they want to GPLize it.

In fact, I just found a lot of gratis fonts:

Unfortunately there is no information about the licences. I will have to do a research. Maybe you (Roozbeh, Behdad) can help me select a beautiful one? I am hardly able to read Arabic script, let alone say something about esthetics.
