We're getting side-tracked here folks.

Everybody is focused on the authenticity of the memos, fonts, kerning, proportional spacing, typewriters versus word processors...

It is clear the memos are forgeries, we should be focused on the real issue.

There are some other issues that seem to discredit, independently of any font or other layout issue, the late Lt. Col. Jerry's Killian's memos. For example, the unit is designated "111 F.I.S." or "111th F.I.S." The military doesn't use periods after those letters. Also, one date was given as 04 May 1972 and all years were either 1972 or 1973. Military convention would be 4 May 72 and for 1973, 73.
