Calibri designer reacts to Maryam Nawaz’s documents

it would have been possible to create a document using Calibri in 2006

Therefore, the use of Calibri, by itself, is not enough to discredit the document. As I said before.

The other points raised by JIT are more substantive, but not the font issue.

[but] it is [still] extremely unlikely that somebody would copy fonts from a beta environment to use in official documents,” he added.
As the file size of such operating systems is huge, it would have been a serious effort to get.”

Incompetence of Nawaz

First rule of forging documents, use everything that would be available at that time period, and preferably well before that time period

Had Nawaz and co had any hint of competence, they would have sat on an old Windows XP PC and typed up a document on Office 2003, using Arial, which has always been available, and printed on a printer that was available back then, with ink that was made before then and on paper that was available then

This is basic forgery, no wonder our country is run so terribly, these people can't even do the basics right

All it needs is a small TTF file to be copied over into a folder, and the font is available for use. The entire OS does not need to be copied over. In fact, people used to harvest beta installations for such features that could be run under older versions, quite successfully.

Why would anyone use a beta font of an unknown font for an official document?

There was a huge selection of TTF files that people used to create and distribute, and one of the best sources was beta releases. The font themselves were easy to use and final, it was only the operating system files that were in the testing phase. Back in those days, Macs had the advantage in typesetting and were thus dominant in desktop publishing, but PCs caught up soon with advances like TTF.

But normally new fonts are not used for official documents

I am wondering how on earth JIT members even thought of the font :azn:
in the report itself they mentioned that there was cutting on the Date few times --- also Maryam aunty has handed in these documents as "Original Documents" so to check the authenticity of these docs, JIT sent it for forensic analysis ----

That is up to the user, and an assumption. The key fact is that the TTF file was available for use when the document is supposed to have been written.

Textbook example of Allah ke pakar....an ant can bring an elephant down, in this case a font:lol:.
Always remeber, none of the bootlegging or murder charges stuck on al capone, in the end they got the biggest most brutal criminal in Us history on tax evasion:azn:.

Just because Maryam Safdar-Sharif is a MA English Lit doesn't mean she's going out and pre-beta testing addon fonts from random downloadable websites.

It's obvious there's fraudulent paperwork across the spectrum.

This is just a speck of icing on the cake, just the soundbite Bilo, as if he forgot his father, and IK need.
