I've had a problem on Snow Leopard which seems to occur on every MacBook I upgrade to SL. The installation process fails at some kexts and the font rendering for Persian language is bogus, There are | lines instead of non-breaking spaces in words!

I assumed Snow Leopard added the functionality to render Windows True Type fonts out of the box,

Please guide me in the correct path to figure this out more specifically.

Font rendering isn't kernel functionality and as such has little to do with kexts or with the underlying Darwin system. Mac OS X has always (at least in every version I've used) been able to render "Windows TrueType" fonts as well as AAT fonts, OpenType fonts and PostScript fonts. If you're having font rendering problems the place to post is probably quartz-dev.
