Poem font in "A.I" movie

James Michaels

Can anyone identify the font used in this scene from Steven Spielberg's "A.I." (Artificial Intelligence)? Thanks.

(Incidentally, in the next-to-last line the first character got cut off. The word is "for".)

The proportions are similar to

but the lowercase f doesn't match...

I think it's blurry Mona Lisa Solid.

@Mike F...

I think you're right...

Thanks for the suggestions. Rundfunk doesn't match exactly, but has the same general look. Mona Lisa Solid is also pretty close, although the lower-case "i" and "y" look different to me. But both fonts are certainly pretty close. Thanks.

I think the 'i' is the only different letter from ITC Mona Lisa Solid, because it has a round 'dot'. Looks like there might be a dot-less 'i' and 'dot' combination in the glyph set that would match the sample, though I'm not clear how one would do that.
