I wondered if it was technically feasible to add new fonts to those already available.

I'm rather fond of Alte Schwabacher and Kingthings Petrock myself, I find they fit fantasy Quests very well.

Also stuff like Runic alphabets, Enochian, Alphabet of the Magi for atmosphere in occult Quests?

I can use basic runes. I can never remember the unicode, but Copy/Paste works for me.
 
There are two separate issues: characters outside ordinary usage, such as runes, kanji, tengwar, &c.; and specified fonts for ordinary text, such that words typed as normal appear differently. The former is handled by Unicode, and whether it works depends on the individual reader's computer (namely, the fonts installed). The latter would have to be added to the site.

I have no idea whether or how BBcode purports to support font switches; I rather suspect it doesn't. Thus, this would require reasonably intensive customization, and it probably goes low on the list of priorities for QQ.
