Stevan White:
As of the Jan 4 2009 release, GNU FreeSerif now has a Coptic range!
    http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/
Download it here (look at the README.txt file for instructions)
     http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/

Comments are welcome, and desired!  File bug reports or comment on the freefont-bugs mailing lists:
     https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/

Cheers!

Admin:
I think only FreeSerif supports coptic
but of course this is better than Nothing
the letters are very pretty
I will test this font more and if it performed well I we will use it as our standard font
otherwise we will fill bug reports as u explained
We want to thank you and everyone who participated in this work

Stevan White:
Thanks for the feedback!

This range is to be regarded as a first try.  All your information is welcome, and I will act on it soon, once we come to an understanding.

Regarding your bug report

Stevan White:
Hello,

The README.txt file explains this.
At this time, the latest version is dated 20090104.

If you have Windows XP or Vista, the OpenType version is recommended:
    freefont-otf-20090104.zip
If you have other versions of Windows or some other operating system, the TrueType version is recommended.
    freefont-ttf-20090104.tar.gz
(You may have to find special software to unpack such files however.)

Further instructions are included in the zip files.

Cheers!
