Client wants to use Papyrus. Help!

I have a client who would like to use Papyrus in their branding, alongside the logo I designed for them (logo attached). They mentioned that something similar would be ok, so I'm scratching to find something that would suit them (think personal trainer who uses yoga in her practice and likes tribal design) and not make me feel professional pain. I would love to hear some suggestions.

I'd also love to hear how others tactfully deal with clients that want to use fonts (or other design elements) that you just can't bring yourself to use? How do you tell them that their choices are... less than ideal?

Thanks!

Font used on Crusade DVD package

This font was used for the descriptive text on the back of the packaging for the DVD set of the TV show Crusade (a Babylon 5 spin-off). Note the distinctive characters: g, e, a, r, f, t, m. WhatTheFont's closest match was Netto, but that is wrong. Can anyone identify this font? Thanks, Kirk

Glyph View on MyFonts

Does anyone have an idea why my glyphs are so randomly arranged on MyFonts? (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/philatype/gravity/nova/characters.html)
This doesn't seem to happen to anyone else's fonts. Is there some encoding setting I'm missing?

List of fonts with optical scaling?

Does anyone know of a list, ideally reasonably comprehensive and up to date, of fonts which incorporate optical scaling? For present purposes I'd define this as fonts with three or more variants for different ranges of point size. (There must be quite a lot more with just two variants, most often text and display versions.)
