We badly need to compile a systematic list of multilined faces as
they keep popping up regularly.
Yves, this sounds like a perfect place for another Font ID Guide. I already have a bunch of older designs in the Bauhaus Guide (see several on this page), and I could use those with samples of the newer fonts mentioned in your links. (Some of which are no longer working links, btw). I think multi-line and inline fonts could be included. I'll try to get something started this week, and we can use it as a reference for these types in the future.
By the way, in starting to look for fonts I think I found the answer to this one: FGroove by Jim Marcus at T-26
OK, for what it's worth I have started a new Font ID Guide called Lined Font Identification Guide. At this point it consists of 2 pages with about 30 fonts each. If I get other suggestions, or samples, I will keep expanding it. It's not linked into the rest of my site, but eventually it will have a place in the Site mape and links from other parts of my site.
My impulse has been scratched for the time being.
Thanks for the input Stephen and the additions. I agree that mixing them slows the identification down a bit, so I think I will segregate them by types: Multilinear, and Inline. It's still pretty easy to do with only 2 pages.
The toughest part at this stage is just getting the images, especially if I don't have the fonts. I have to copy multi-part test drives, or appropriate site graphics. (This is a naked appeal to anyone with any multiline fonts, or inline fonts, to provide samples showing the complete character set and font name. Use either vertical style (250 pixel width) or horizontal layout (max 730 pixels wide), and e-mail the .gifs to me for inclusion. Image donors will be credited. Thanks.
Just for future multiline or inline font question reference, I have updated the new Lined Fonts ID Guide to separate the two categories, so that you can search for either kind, as Stephen suggested. I also added all the ones that were mentioned (if the links were good, and not all of them were), except Surreal Post-Indian, from Type-o-Tones, because I couldn't find a decent way to produce a sample without owning the font.
I am also trying to get a good sample of Damien Gautier's "LeChaufferie", if any one has the ability to make one.
I also welcome any other suggestions for inclusion in the Guide.
there is also this beauty: DSLANE

Buenos Aires from Nick Curtis: 
Crossbar from CFont.
Mexcellent and its 3D partner from Larabie: 

Thanks Mike, those were all pretty good additions, although Neptune is pretty much ITC Neon (which I did have). Larabie's Mexcellent is the same as Olympia, I believe, but I wanted to add it for comparison. I also saw a few other candidates in the new Veer catalog, so I'm sure this will keep growing for a while. The suggestions and help you guys have provided has been terrific.
