Cannot use Farsi in vim-7.3

Hi everybody,

To use `Farsi' in vim 7.1, I used `--enable-gui=gtk' in configuration.
The full installation commands are listed below. However, the above option
is not supported in vim-7.3 and I have used --enable-gui=auto (default).
And with this option I have problem using `Farsi' in vim. To be specific I
use the following command (which works fine in vim-7.1):

env LANG=POSIX LC_ALL=POSIX \
vim -geometry 80x48+50+10 -g -fn far-a01 -F "+set fk"

to start vim in Farsi mode. But when I press a key, instead of the Farsi
character, only a rectangular box is displayed on the vim window.
Even in English mode, an extra space is displayed between adjacent
characters if I use the above font.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Hussain
