As you may have deduced from the fact that the two M's in "Yummy" have different symbols, it's not a straightforward substitution. I think it's more of what I call a "decoder ring" encryption; the symbols indicate how many letters past the previous letter you check. (For example, the first symbol represents 25 as Y is the 25th letter; "U" is 22 after "Y" (counting Z, A, B, and so on), so the second symbol represents 22; "M" is 18 after "U", so the third symbol is 18; the fourth symbol is 0 (or 26), and so on.

I remember seeing a partial chart on one of the Futurama sites, but I don't think they got every symbol into an episode.

Yeah, there is one (a real-time decoder script) on gotfuturama.com; I think the only one that didn't make it into an episode is the "add one letter" character.

Assuming that one's correct, though, there's an error in one prominent inscription (try to find it, kids!); I'm not sure if that's the Futurama team's error or CGEF's.
