If those languages are not listed in >Settings >Fonts >CTL, or >Settings >Fonts 
>Western, as appropriate, LibO will not handle them correctly.  It will 
randomly substitute your correct glyph from your correct font, with some 
strange glyph from who knows where.   
(It even does that when writing medieval English using thorn, and The other 
obsolete letters of the English alphabet.)

I think Ancient CJKV work fine, provided you have the appropriate font, _and_ 
the glyphs are in the Unicode Base Plane. (I don't remember if LibO supports 
non base plane glyphs.)
(I don't remember if the mu wang manuscript I was reading in LibO used images, 
or a font.)

I'd suggest filing an rfe for all ancient languages you use, if there is an ISO 
code for them, and also if they aren't yet supported in settings..

You'll need complete locale data for each language. 
I'm assuming that there is an ISO-360 code for the language.
