Does this happen only with that font, or does it happen with any font
that supports Persian?

If it's only that font, then I don't think we should try solving this
in Emacs; please report this to the font developers.

If the problem happens with any Persian-supporting font, then please
tell the details: which page you copy/paste from, what browser did you
use to copy that text, detailed steps for how to reproduce in Gnus,
etc.  This bug report described a problem that happened in different
situation (the Emacs EWW browser), so it's hard to know what exactly
happens in your case.

Thanks.
