FWIW - 'Kermit' is now an option in desktop MS Word. Click on the font drop-down box and it's listed alphabetically. I assume it's in the web app too but haven't checked.

Interestingly, it was listed in the font drop-down but there was an icon next to it to "download this font". That was quick and painless and the resulting text looks like the one shown in the article.

So it might not be free, but if you've got MS Word you can at least download and try it out.
