i have installed the fixed versions of these fonts; thanks for the
upload.
the fonts are part of the archaic fonts bundle, whose catalogue entry
may be viewed at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/archaic.html
links to the separate font catalogue entries may be seen on that page
("greek 4th century bce" and "etruscan").

archaic – A collection of archaic fonts
The collection contains fonts to represent Aramaic, Cypriot, Etruscan, Greek of the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Linear A, Linear B, Nabatean old Persian, the Phaistos disc, Phoenician, proto-Semitic, runic, South Arabian Ugaritic and Viking scripts.
The bundle also includes a small font for use in phonetic transcription of the archaic writings. The bundle's own directory includes a font installation map file for the whole collection.
