You need to use some Persian font. I have done it with Arabic text

You can download the font from here

Then use arabic_reshaper library to get it in shape.

pip install arabic-reshaper

You will also need python-bidi as well to flip the letters

pip install python-bidi

Refer to this https://github.com/mpcabd/python-arabic-reshaper

Code

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager,Screen
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy import Config
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
import arabic_reshaper
from bidi.algorithm import get_display

class MainApp(App):
    def build(self):
        reshaped_text = arabic_reshaper.reshape("فارسی")
        bidi_text = get_display(reshaped_text)
        
        return Label(text= bidi_text, font_name='Amiri-Regular.ttf', font_size=30)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    MainApp().run()

Output

Yes you can. You need to reshape it and bidi it then just include the font. font_name: 'Amiri-Regular.ttf' and the text as a variable. — Fadi Abu Raid, Dec 21 '20 at 11:25
