   The document at http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/osteuropa1.pdf
indicates that "Benjamin Gothic Regular" is actually a counterfeit Adobe
Benguiat Gothic created in 1994 by the company "Mon Ami". The company
since went out of business following the assassination of its leader.

   I am afraid I did not find an English version of the document, but
you can look at http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/vendors.html and search
for "Olaf Hemming" for a summary.
