[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8712994, member: 7808"] Taking a further look into things, the files from Ryan Palmer actually provide further evidence that the N&N version was done by Dave Johnson and not by the Hovermales (Hi there, [USER=7034739]@Graph Paper Architect[/USER] ). Here's what Ryan Palmer posted for the "fake" N&N PDF version: [ATTACH type="full" alt="296913928_2370051059837504_413409156432439728_n.jpg"]255930[/ATTACH] and the more recent Microsoft version: [ATTACH type="full" alt="297054642_2370051116504165_6881499350027220757_n.jpg"]255931[/ATTACH] You'll notice that the font of "EXAMPLES OF RACES-" is completely different in the two versions. Luckily, we have the treasure trove of files from the NuTSR Google Drive that they shared with the world to compare them to. The "Examples of Races" from the N&N version appears to be done in [URL='https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/liberation-serif']Liberation Serif[/URL] (bold, I think). This can be seen more clearly in the video from Truth Suck and [USER=15047]@tenkar[/USER]. This is the same font that Dave Johnson (aka George) uses. You can see this in the headings in his document on Entomoids: [ATTACH type="full" width="820px" alt="EntomoidsFont1.JPG"]255932[/ATTACH] Meanwhile, everything done by Logan Hovermale uses the Cambria font for headings: [ATTACH type="full" width="822px" alt="OrganizationsFont1.JPG"]255933[/ATTACH] And the latest version clearly uses the Microsoft Word default, Arial. Liberation Serif is not a standard MS font. Arial and Cambria are. My summary: The offensive N&N version was definitely made by Dave Johnson. In addition to the dates and content, it uses fonts that only Dave is shown to use in comparative samples. These guys have now tried to provide evidence of the "fake" twice, and both times it has done nothing but prove they're lying. Their inability to pay even the slightest bit of attention to detail actually makes their faked "proof" work against them. For reference, [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-full-glorious-history-of-nutsr.684697/post-8704908']here's some of my earlier work on the Google Drive data[/URL]. Also, please note that I am by no means a font or metadata expert. This is completely amateur sleuthing that only works on amateur forgeries. If anyone can add more data or correct any errors I might have made, please do so. [/QUOTE]
