I have also added the Signature glyphs to the bottom. While it's possible they could have just been removed/replaced for utilitarian sake, it doesn't change the fact that most of this font is whole-sale ripped off of the original. I believe even a single glyph copied from a copyright font is potential grounds for litigation. 

I say, let's not take the risk.

Yes, node comparison was the first thing I checked. I figured since the original vectors are in the pdf file, one could compare the nodes themselves if there were any doubt.

I have added a node data comparison to the file for ease of viewing however:

Did you actually compare the nodes of the individual glyphs? While I don't
think that it's the case here it would still be possible that the original
font was redrawn with the same look, however AFAIK only the actual vector
information of a font is copyrighted, not the look.

This is a claim not being proven by your visual comparison. So better back it
with data.
