But I digress. According to the LA Times today, within 4 hours of the CBS broadcast, one person who identified himself as Buckhead over at the kreeps blog broke the story that the reports were "in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman....The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers... They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts. "
What a geek. A font historian who just happens to be freeper. Who knew? Well it turns out that this
Oh yes, and by the way, McDougal "helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal"
BOOOOOOOO!
