The network also has sought to counter the arguments by referring to a typewriting script distributor, who says the typing style in the memos has been available since 1931.

Wrong, cub reporter.

Times New Roman was available since the 1930's as a typesetting font used by the Times of London. It was not until 1980 that Times New Roman was licensed as a word processor font and available as a typing font.

If you do not know the difference between a typesetting font and a font available on a typewriter, cub reporter, ask the Editor of the Seattle Times to arrange a little lecture for you by the guys who run the printing presses that print The Seattle Times.

When an Internet poster who is a physician by profession knows more about printing technology than a reporter for the Seattle Times, it illustrates the abysmal ignorance of those who now work for the news media.

I used to work for Fortune 500 companies typing on IBM memory selectrics in the late 1970's. The typefaces available then were Prestige Elite, Courier, and Script, monospaced 10, 12 or 15 cpi. We did not have proportional spacing capability until we got printwheels on our Xerox 800/860 word processors. I have never seen proportional spacing on IBM type elements. And, none of the above had superscript capability, not even the IBM, Wang, or Xerox word processors (circa 1979-1983).
