I noticed the different placement of the 'th' in the CBS fake and the Word copy. But when I highlighted the 'th' and made it two points bigger (14 instead of 12), it matched perfectly.

The forger was worried that when their 'work' was 'aged' by scanning and photocopying, that the th would be too blurred or too small, so they bumped up the size a bit. Fourteen is the next size up on the size menu from twelve.

I assumed the difference was due to warping by the multiple passes of the lens of the copier; but you may be right.

I have in mind a test that I may undertake later tonight to flesh this out a little more...
