I am precisely working to fix this by revamping the unifont.bdf file
to inlude these characters.
(importing them from some FreeType fonts)
Even more, I'm working to also add Punjabi characters to unifont.bdf
I'm not sure that I will have time to produce AND TEST a patch
before leaving for holidays, but I'll make my best.
As far as I've seen some of the characters you mentioned are not in
installer/build/needed-characters/fa. Could you please update this
file with these characters (IIRC, these are KEHEH, PEH and
TCHEH....GAF and JEH are in this file)
