It's close enough. Usually stuff using the "KLIpIqaDmey" font is in all
capital letters, but I don't know of any other fonts which map {q} -> "k"
and {ng} -> "f". I'm guessing it's just had the capitalization modified
somewhere along the way.

"Speak Klingon Badly" does. I don't recall the web site, and I don't
really feel like looking it up right now. I don't really think it should
be made available anyway.
