Can anyone explain why the -91 is in a different font and alignment than the 5,729,293?

If the -91 is omitted, it then looks normal.

Maybe Mary Mapes typewriter was used?

See justlurking’s post here, about the tax return and the “91”:

The amount was 915,729,293 .

If you read the original NY Times article, Trump's former accountant explains it.

The software he was using wouldn't print such a large number. So, he had to use a typewriter to insert the additional digits and hyphen.
