The Unicode set should provide you with the letterforms that you need. It was created to be fairly complete, at least for European and romanized Asian languages. I think that you have to create a letter for Lapp and for another for a Serbo-Croation dialect.
Microsoft shipped Lucida Sans Unicode with their Word product, although I do not recall which version. The major type foundries should offer unicode sets of the major typefaces. (I like Dutch Type Library, but I have to spell Dutch names all the time.)
