Indeed! It would be too erroneous to create a full page.

There are PostScript fonts by Peter Wilson for Ugaritic (alphabet)  
and Old Persian. These two scripts are also defined in Unicode's  
Supplementary Multilingual Plane. Code2001 and FreeSerif have them. I  
also have a font "MPH 2B Damase" and no idea where it came from. Are  
Wikipedia or http://www.wazu.jp/ recommending something?
