Typomania?

Apparently this is a true condition.  People who MUST identify the font on any particular sign they see.  This was the subject of a Wall Street Journal article on Saturday.  Sometimes they can quickly identify the font, other times, they spend hours researching just to know what the font is.

There are people who have actually harassed retailers who have changed their selected type face in catalogs or other signage -- re:  IKEA. 

How arcane of a hobby not to mention 'condition' can this get?
