Stephen Potts, Mike Kopack (Sams)
may help you get started (If you've got just a little more time).

Sep 16: Analyzing the CBS/USA
Today Killian memos
Here is the techical analysis completed: An Examination of Character Fonts in the CBS and USA Today Killian Memos The main points are:
- The font used is not (as indicated by numerous Websites) the "default
Microsoft" (or Adobe True Type) font for Microsoft Word. Specifically it is not Times New Roman - the lower
case "L" and the "a" and other characters look different in the Killian documents. See below.
- As far as can be established, variations in characters that appear
in the Killian documents could take several weeks to try to produce if you used a graphical editing program. Why
not use a typewriter?
See additional notes at the bottom.

Highlights
Notes:
A full article An Examination of Character Fonts in the CBS and USA Today Killian Memos discusses character variations and vertical
misalignments found in the Killian documents that could not be produced with a Word processor and/or the "default
Microsoft font." To learn more about Vertical Misalignment see: PC Printing: Current and Past Technologies.
About "L" vs. One:
At first I thought this was just someone typing lower case "L"
instead of "1" because that's what they grew up with. Many typewriters did not have a "1" key.
But it's not. However the MS Word True Type Times New Roman is simply different from the font in the Killian memos and this glaring difference is why I contacted
CBS. See below:
About "th's"
As I told CBS, I'm not an expert in what a Selectric typing element has or can do. I do know that in Microsoft
Word, to produce a non-superscript "th" you have to go out of your way to do it - which did get said
fairly clearly. What I said I believe was: "There is one
document from May of 1972 which contains a normal ''th"at the top. To produce that in Microsoft Word, you
would have to go out of your way to type the letters and then turn the "th" setting off or back over
them and type them again."
To expand and clarify. First you definitely do have to go out of your way to do this. As stated, you can turn off
the automatic setting (for text formatting for instance). Or you can type spaces, then go back and insert "th"
in between them. Then delete the first space but DON'T PRESS the space bar. If you forget and press the space bar after the "h", the "th" will automatically
superscript. Then you have to erase it and type it all over again. That is how it works.
Easier to use a typewriter. In
total, I made two statements: 1) to CBS and 2) to the New York Times is: "It
doesn't look like you can do this very easily. If you use something like Photoshop you could come close to faking
it, but why not just go out and buy a Selectric for US$75?"
