Lol!
They overlook the asterisk: 'For use on typewriters and printers with proportional spacing.' IAW, NOT the Selectric.
Uh-huh. That difference between the two fonts alone should be enough for CBS to let go of those badly-drawn boys and call it a day.
However, they keep on pushing this.
Killian had a linotype in his basement, donchaknow.
Probably a photo compositor.
I'm still fond of the Mr. Peabody and Sherman with the Wayback Machine theory.
Dude, you are amazing!!!
True enough. However, as I said it shouldn't matter since I don't recall the Times New Roman or even Times Roman font being used on typewriters or computers or consoles prior to the early 80s...
If the font in those memos is one of the roman fonts, then it's a document that is at least post-1980...
Perhaps the most interesting question coming from this SNAFU is: "If Kerry had these documents forged, what other documents from his past are also forged?"
Thank you! (The Imaginary Spiders are not thanking you though, since they were just forced to leave) ;0)
Nice work!

LOL!
I always thought that as well.
Times Roman is a body text, serifed typeface. It was created by Linotype to compete with Monotype's Times New Roman typeface. Both are based on an older design called Plantin. Their readability and economical use of space caused them to be used extensively in American newspapers during World War II to save paper. A digital version of Times Roman was implemented in early Postscript interpreters (also in laser printers) and later distributed with the free Acrobat Reader software for the popular PDF file format, thus making the typeface ubiquitous.
The differences between Times Roman and Times New Roman PS are mostly a trademark issue. Although there are subtle stylistic and spacing differences, they are invisible in body typefaces at normal reading distances.
Microsoft Windows computers feature Monotype's Times New Roman PS while Mac computers have Linotype's Times Roman.
In digital font systems, Times [New] Roman is usually the first font coded, and the font most often examined to determine the quality of the font system. Therefore, software designers and commercial organizations take particular care with it.
Which is true. Therefore Rather's defense is amusing and absurd.
I don't know why ANYONE would want to claim credit for New Times Roman. It is an awful, shrimpy typeface, especially for baby boomers whose collective eyesight has started to show wear and tear. It's ugly too. I hate it.
Well, yeah LOL. I don't think many hear disagree with THAT LOL
I don't know about you, but my first response when I finally loaded those .pdfs the other night was laughter.
I have a mental image of the dudes from Raising Arizona putting this fraud together.
Well, somebody liked it so much they neglected to change it to Courier or American Typewriter...and here we are, LOL!!!
With you there. Nothing like having FRiends.
I hear ya... Probably some punk kid, who's never even seen a typewriter, thinking "I'll make up some documents, and make points with the boss!" as they sat down at their PC, fired up Word, and began to type...
