That goes all the way from clear things like the swastika to not-so-clear things like the 'ok' hand sign. Yes, there are people who say you shouldn't use 'ok' hand signs now because it's used by an extremist group.
So if neo-nazi use a font, that font is now, to those kinds of people, only a neo-nazi font.

As far as I can tell this was essentially made-up and has been spread via the citogenesis cycle ever since.
