I have not read the papers showing that using a different font to sign something is a sign of fraud. DO share the citations! Seriously, no idea what the story is with this study, but the guy has an injury related serious disability with his hands, so he uses transcription software to type, and others in the office may copy edit his transcribed writing. I have used different devices or software to write documents too, and it makes the fonts different. Does that make me a fraud? Seriously, if you are that eager to prove someone is guilty that you come up with random "evidence" with no basis, it calls into question the rest of your arguments.

This is for all the mind readers who think using different fonts is a sign of something... seriously???? What research do you have for backing this up? Different fonts-- happens when folks start to write something on one device and then move to another or use transcription software and then go back to add and subtract later. I think he has some sort of serious hand injury from his burns (he talked about it in some interview I saw ages back) so using his hands is painful... So yeah, he likely dictated some and wrote some.... or perhaps someone copy edited it for him and he signed later with a new device and therefore with different font. WHO CARES? I suspect this is a case of taking on so much that he lost quality control. I get that this is not good and that he messed up, but the font change does not mean all these scary things. BTW I use dictation software myself (so I can multitask), and I often go back and correct things afterwards, and the things I add often come in a different font. It is not because I am a fraud. it is because I use multiple devices and programs to write. The psychic mind readers and tarot card interpreters here may want to find a citation for research showing that font changes are a sign of something sinister.... Seriously, if you are turning random things into "evidence" of fraud, it only weakens the rest of your argument.
