There are indeed.  Georgia Tobin is the font designer at the Metafoundry,
which is, alas, no more.  It was a part of OCLC (the library terminal, 
you know?), and they decided font designing wasn't really their business.
Soooo, the newer, nicer G. Tobin fonts are only available if you happen
to work for OCLC (which, having seen them, is not a bad reason to work
there).  

However, her older designs, for example Chel, and Decorative, are still
available at a price from various licensees of the fonts.  The only
one in the U.S. is Personal TeX, Inc.  I haven't their address off hand,
but that shouldn't be too hard to find.

Cheers,
