Hebrew? We had an earlier question relating to plotting displays about
right-to-left displaying Hebrew text improperly, but as far as I know
the console displays were working properly.
A search for "right-to-left" with RSeek suggests you may get some
support with package:ISOcodes.
However, I do not see Farsi in the list of languages supported at:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ISO-639-2_utf-8.txt
But my knowledge in this area is very skimpy and the glyph-set needed
may go by another name.
