Why?
Performance of the typist? Security concerns?
- duskwuff 15y agoIt's Courier, not an actual typewriter.
- vonsydov 15y agolol
- gregschlom 15y agoHaha, I got fooled by the by fact it's a scanned document + the ascii art in the corner. Well, I guess they're still using computers as if they were just typewriters...
- sliverstorm 15y agoThey have a policy of printing & scanning documents for archival purposes. It also seems they have a policy of using Courier, which is probably a carry-over from the days of paper records. It isn't the most readable font ever, but it is surely one of the most legible- a good thing for documents meant for preservation.
- eli 15y agoLots of courts have very specific rules about the format of documents. I think it's at least partly to keep lawyers from playing schoolboy-style shenanigans like making lengthy documents seem short or vice versa.
