Redmond, WA -- Microsoft Corporation announced a new font-pack

upgrade for Microsoft Word this week. Aimed at the document

forger market, it includes a series of special typefaces such as

"1973-Selectric.ttf," "underwood1965.ttf" and several others.

"We recommend against the use of Times New Roman, our default

typeface, if you are trying to create the appearance of a typed

military memo from the early '70s," said Microsoft Word product

manager Shirley Pulledstrings. If you don't have our new font

pack, we at least recommend you use Courier 10pt or 12pt.

Also available in the font pack is "ObviousForgery.ttf" which

supports sophisticated kerning, complex font designs and includes

macros to set up text in just the ways typewriters never did.
