The ones from U of T (beware:  I can offer no easy rule of thumb for deciding
which ones those are!) are mostly distant derivatives of the Hershey fonts,
as I recall.  Some of them had quite a lot of bit-tuning done on them, mind
you, and there are probably odds and ends from all manner of sources in there.
This process of tuning, mutation, and cross-breeding has probably progressed
further since the fonts left here.
