There is NO reliable evidence the documents are fake.


Dude, what part of "computer age"
do you NOT understand?



I USED TYPEWRITERS THAT COULD DO IT BACK IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES
DICKHEAD!

1. It's been established in the last 24 hours that typewriters of the
time could do what we've seen.
2. Isle of the Dead is a known newsgroup psychotic. Don't waste your
time.



It's only been established that some typewriters had the type-font. What
has not been established is if *any* typewriters of the time could be used
to reproduce what someone (according to NPR) has done:
- Type the content of the suspect document using MS Word.
- Print the MS-Word doc on a laser printer.
- Scan the MS-Word doc
- Scan a copy of the suspect document
- Superimpose the two over each other and marvel at how they line up.

Maybe it's not outside the realm of infinite possibilities that a chiefly
mechanical device in the early seventies has the same typographical
characteristics of a current software based word-processing program to
include type spacing, kerning, justification, character registration, etc,
etc, etc...

I wouldn't be so quick to declare it a definite or even reasonable
probability just yet...

Well, the raised "e" can only be accomplished in Word with great difficulty.

It's beginning to look like the docs are legitimate. NPR or no NPR.

If people can type up the document on a computer and it lines up with
the documents in question then they are fake documents.

The proportional font on a typewriter will be different than on a
computer. The computer font will change its spacing depending on the
arrangement of the letters and justification. This can't be done on a
fixed key system where the spacing is fixed. The typewriter document can
look the same but the letters will not line up the same way.

Lazy forger should have gotten a typewriter to do the job instead of a
computer.
