Would the "overhang glyphs" be a form of kerning as suggested in my post #138 above? What is the FR concensus regarding "overhang glyphs" on typewriters? I would think that the typewriter would not keep track of which characters are being typed in order to permit the overhang. Is that not so?
The reason for my interest in this detail is that FR can easily supply the technique needed to display an "overhang glyph" in enlarged format to Fox News along with an assertion regarding the possibility of such a thing being done on a typewriter.
Such an exercise would allow Fred Barnes to shut down Juan William's claim that some typewriter somewhere might have been able to create the document. It is important to have one, simple, graphical example which demonstrates the forgery if that is possible.
http://www.ibmcomposer.org/ has some samples. Yes they have overhang. High quality typography did use overhang for centuries after all, but the probability that this memo was typeset with a composer machine, rather than ordinary typewriter is pretty slim
