Hmm.. on my system I see a display that is almost identical to what
your "Gedit" display shows.

CC'ing Handa-san who might be able to help us with verifying the
composition rules for Persian.  Or maybe this is a problem with the
shaping engine used on GNU/Linux?

In any case, disabling bidi reordering doesn't fix the display (it
makes the display much worse for me), so it is not the problem.
