I am guessing that the first letters of all the font names will carry some sort of encoded message when they're all listed out.

ORIGINAL HEADER TEXT:
Greetings,
There is an unsolved puzzle/mystery in a game called Frog Fractions 2, which is both a computer game and an ARG (Alternate Reality Game).
This puzzle was posted, shortly after the game was released (hidden inside a game called on 25th Dec 2016. It uses fonts and is related to finding future game content.
The puzzle is to be found in the following image, released with the soundtrack album: (retrieved 25th Jan 2017, from
https://ryanike.bandcamp.com/releases (paid content).
It is an incomprehensible jumble of letters. I have included the original picture, as well as a version that has all of the letters that I could find that had fonts that differed from the rest, outlined with a red box.
I realize this's a lot to ask people to look at. My hope is that the hunt might be fun and so I've numerically indexed the letters that have different fonts to make it easier to reference.
ps —I will of course credit whomever contributes to correctly identifying the letters herein, and the Dafont/wider typography community in general. Thank you!
