I recommend use of FarsiWeb font set (az they are the first standard unicode Persian fonts)
or fonts from arabeyes project
and also I am ready for help developing right to left suppport for FOP specialy for help in testing.

Great, all 3 forms of help will be appreciated.
May I suggest as starting points:
1) If you haven't done so get a copy of the latest FOP version and
establish yourself a development environment. Most of the relevant
information for this is either on the FOP website:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
or the FOP WIKI: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FrontPage and
especially http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPIDESetupGuide.
2) Familiarize yourself with the XSL-FO spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/) especially with the
section on BIDI
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice5.html#section-N6720-Unicode-BIDI-Processing)
3) There are some thoughts on BIDI and FOP documented on
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPWritingModesAndBidiDesign.
You may want to check those.
4) Make yourself familiar with the FOP test system. See:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/HowToCreateLayoutEngineTests.
Come back, ask questions, make suggestions, document ideas on a WIKI
page.... Its largely up to you how to proceed. But this mailing list is
your best friend and don't hesitate to ask questions or for help.
I have a starting question for you: Is there a useable Arabic or Hebrew
or any other r-l font around we can use under the Apache license for
testing?
Thank you
Manuel
