Subject: [RDG] The dangers of using boring fonts

 

[25] Mr. Phinney has definitively identified the typeface used in the Ledge Lodge document, dated January 4, 1995, as set in a font called Cambria. As of January 4, 1995, however, the Cambria typeface had not yet been created. It was designed for Microsoft beginning in 2002 and did not reach the general public until January 2007 when Microsoft released Windows Vista and Office 2007. Because Cambria typeface did not exist on January 4, 1995, the document set in the typeface Cambria, allegedly dated January 4, 1995, could not have been created or signed on that date.

[26] Similarly, the typeface used in the Humber Station document has been definitively identified as set in a font called Calibri. Like Cambria, Calibri is part of Microsoft’s ClearType Font Collection, which was developed in 2002 but did not reach the general public until 2007.
