I now know more about fonts than I ever hoped to know ;D

Wonderful find. It actually links to the Composer thread already posted. The more experts weigh in the deeper CBS sinks.

I work in the I.S. department of a major daily newspaper, and I thought I knew a lot about fonts (beyond the fact that they are annoying as hell) before I read this.

MEGA-BUMP: this one needs to get to the other blogs.

There's a thread about a conversation Hugh Hewitt had with a Professor of Computer Science from Rice University who says the documents are FORGERIES.

Concerning a Selectric with a TNR ball

The matter boils entirely down to why on earth would a LtCol meticulously duplicate a centered letterhead (twice!) that also matched up with a software program 32 years later?

Just Excellent! See this:

Actually, IBM Composer (http://www.ibmcomposer.org/) did support variable letter/word/line spacing, but it highly improbable that someone 30+ years ago had managed to match MS Word precisely by playing with these settings. I will believe in time travel first :-)

This is the most detailed analysis I've seen. It is extremely accurate. The items that CBS claims are "authentic" cannot be so.

Thank you.

You should check out the thread involving the IBM Composer. That machine failed to get the leading and the letterspacing is inexact.
