Unfortunately, my host is down for unknown reasons.
Seeing as I don't pay for my webspace, I can't well demand an
explanation, so the best I can do is hope that the issue will be
resolved sooner rather than later. If it goes on for long enough, I
may inquire for a second time as to the nature of the problem.

Please note, however, that this is not of the most recent version of
the font, which fixes an issue with the coptic ranges.
Do you happen to have that ZIPped? I'm working on Windows here, and I
wouldn't have a clue how to get into a Debian package even if it weren't
likely to get me ejected from here with maximal force :-)
DaMaSe is certainly usable for Gothic, Tifinagh,
hPhags-pa, Linear B
(syllabary 100% supported, ideograms only partially supported),
Cypriot, Glagolitic... It is perhaps a superior font for Glagolitic
because it attempts to blend the quite distinct traditions of
Glagolitic writing (Triangular, Square, and Round). It also works for
Persian and Ugaritic cuneiform, and many many many other scripts.
It would be good to have this information somewhere on Wikipedia, to enable
cross-referencing to determine appropriate fonts to display various
langauges.
I envisage creating various templates, along the lines of {{unicode}} and
{{IPA}}, to display those languages which require particular fonts. Code2001
seems to do a good job, according to the various test pages I have found.
However I haven't been able to figure out a way to finesse [[en:Gothic
alphabet]] or [[en:Ugaritic alphabet]] into accepting the idea that I have
Code2001 installed; maybe it's a preview thing.
