Flynn said it's "very unlikely" that the memos are legit, adding that
he knows of no typewriter fonts using proportionally spaced Roman type
with a raised "th" available in the 1970s.


Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting

the
roller a smidge (or lowering it) for sub (or super) script. You must not

have
ever typed footnotes.


Haven't seen a copy of the "memo", hu?
The superscripted "th" is in a much smaller font size than the rest of
the document; the "th" used aprox the same horizontal space as each
digit in the number before it. *If* it was produced by a typewriter of
any vintage that used impact transfers of fixed characters, the
superscript "th" was a single character.
