Post Could a font topple the PM of Pakistan?
How the Calibri font could take down Pakistan’s prime minister

Note to self, when forging documents, make sure the font you use actually existed at the time you want to claim the document is from. Doh!

Stick to arial or times new roman (I'm assuming Word doesn't have versions that differ or are updated every few years).

IIRC Calibri is the default font in MS Office and has been for a while so I'm guessing they just started a new document and didn't bother to worry about the font.

Use Helvetica for documents post 1957. Arial only goes back as far as 1990.

My father had a 2 big boxes full of font reference sheets when I was a kid. I was always fascinated by them. Not sure what happened to them.
