I am slow to these things but Heather N. kindly passed me the URL for my new favorite game: Is it a cheese or is it a font?
http://cheeseorfont.mogrify.org/

There's no reason why you can't have both, with Swiss Cheese font, though Miedinger it ain't. http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Swiss_Cheese.htm

I'd do better at this game if they didn't have so many freakishly obscure fonts. Who actually knows all those names?
