 |
|
| While "googling" I came across http://www.vintagetype.com. It sells all kinds of old typewriter fonts for computer use. Luckily, the CBS memo forger wasn't smart enough to use them. HOWEVER, we need to be aware this source exists in case "new" memos turn up. For $20 you can make you computer type like a vintage Underwood Portable or 15 other vintage typewriters. |

I've seen a few of those sites but after checking some out I don't think they'd be all that usable for trying to forge documents. They're digital representation of what a typewriter font looks like but they aren't exact representations. At least the ones I checked out.  |

Thanks for the info, but since the forger of the CBS doc's decided to use microsoft word for his or her forgery no need for type font analysis.

True but so far the Ph test on the accused gene pool shows they might just pick one like this Damn ignorant fonts
