Don't know about fonts, but a search on Yahoo produced a nice photographic

It's from the Humboldt University Computer Science dept. Perhaps our Deutsch
contributors can elaborate?

With time on your hands and search engines, you can turn up all sorts of
oddities, as the MD&P firm illustrates. Does anyone know about the Tristero
mail system marketed by Rhizomatics?
