Well, aren't GDR fonts bitmap fonts that have at most a few fixed point sizes? (Nothing "scalable" about them, regardless of which Symbian API call you use.)
I did not yet work with that "Easy GDR Creator", but from what I saw during a quick Google search was that this tools renders a TTF font to a GDR-format bitmap font with *exactly one* point size. If my understanding is correct, it's clear why the font does not want to scale.

What do mean with "defined by myself"? Did you design a font yourself? If yes, in which format is the font file right now?

Maybe we have a big misunderstanding here somewhere. Finding it will maybe bring the solution of the problem.
"ttf" is no font format. ".ttf" is the usual extension for font files in the TrueType font format. If you have a TrueType font, you already have a font that is scalable. You did design a TrueType font, i.e. define your Farsi characters not as pixels, but with the help of lines, arcs, ellipses and so on? If yes, and if you work with a modern Symbian phone (i.e. OS 9/S60 3rd edition or UIQ3), just transfer your scalable TrueType font to your phone, select it in your program, and it's ok. Modern Symbian phones can directly work with TrueType fonts, no need to use a tool like Easy Font Creator then.
But anyway, as far as I know, Farsi is written in Arabic letters plus some additional special letters, and I would think that there must be already a number of TrueType fonts around that support Farsi, and still you design your own font?
Furthermore, your statement "english alphabet replaced by farsi" does not sound too good. In any case that would not be the right way to do it. Symbian is fully Unicode capable, and in Unicode the Farsi alphabet has its own codepoints. If you just replace English letters, e.g. the codepoint 65, you get a *very* non-standard Farsi font that will lead to trouble, I think.

I use ttf file that exist in font folder in windows.i.e Arial. When i run application, I see only under Line, plz see this code and say me what is
wrong?
_LIT(KMyFontName,"arial");
CFont* myFont;
TFontSpec myFontSpec(KMyFontName,1);
CGraphicsDevice* screenDevice = iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice();
screenDevice->GetNearestFontInTwips(myFont,myFontSpec);
gc.SetPenSize(TSize(5,5));
gc.UseFont(myFont);
gc.SetPenColor(TRgb(0x000000));
_LIT(mt,"a b c d e f g h i j");//generate
gc.DrawText(mt, TPoint(100,100 ) );
gc.DiscardFont();
screenDevice->ReleaseFont(myFont);
thank you very much for your useful information about ttf .I don't know any thing about ttf, that file was gived me.

I understand that what was wrong. i chang my code to this:
TInt fontSize;
TFontSpec myFontSpec(KMyFontName,fintSize);
and also i can show farsi by using unicode and i.e arial font.
Thanls alot .
