The Descent II true type fonts. Does anyone have them or know where to get them?

which the Descent logo is made of.

PlanetDescent fonts page isn't loading for me and the other page is gone long ago.

Nevermind, it seems firefox didn't like the PD fonts page. Maxthon opened it right up. Thanks again.
