Okay, now my curiousity is piqued. Ruritania is a Paul Lloyd Font created in 1997. I just checked out this Rothenburg Decorative and it is copyrighted by Alex Winterbottom. Looks like the exact same font to me. Philippe...you up?

they are both using the same sort of source -- whether there is cloning or not will have to be determined this evening

later “this evening” -- jan --
the fonts are both pretty good (Lloyd is much “cleaner”), but I don’t think either is a clone; they are independent scans and “makeup” -- don’t know either’s source; they could be the same

Interesting. Thanks for the research. It makes sense that two (or more) designers could seize upon the same font to digitize.
