No one has claimed “different fonts” ~ just a very slight difference in apparent size.

Go look again! The characters are not, just of different size.

That's what Irey claimed ~ not that there were DIFFERENT FONTS.

"Typewriters in 1961 could not change the size and shape of a letter on the fly like that," he said.

btw, font and typeface are almost the same. A typeface is the primary design, while the font is the implementation and variation of the typeface.

Maybe you should stick to a subject that you know something about.

I gave you the money quote ~ he said the work wasn't done with just one typewriter.

Stick with that.

Maybe not, but a scanner and software to digitize and store it can--and does.

So if the different sizes and so on are just natural artifacts, then other abstracts should show the same stuff.
