A scan of the internet using a freely available tool called 'File Ferret' produced only one site in the world where I could find a copy of this font file that was free to access and download. I used it a few times to get copies of the file while I was constructing and testing this site. Once I actually visited the site differently (using FTP) and was met with this rather stern warning.

You'd have to wonder why such a file server is connected to the open internet if it is so top secret. However I'm sure they won't mind if you just quietly take a copy of the font file above and leave, if they do they can just close the connection.
