Two suggestions: the 7-block digital logo you can take from the PostScript file, that would be the authority for this.  I expect you’ll need splines for that, arcs aren’t good enough.  And for the other text, the “Handbook” font I posted should be correct.  (In fact, if any part of it is off, I’d like to know so I can fix it.)  It has both variants of the “t” in it (and for the “f” as well).  Yes, for that one, arcs will suffice.
