Foiled by a font

The BSOD Doctor
A couple involved in bankruptcy proceedings in Canada tried to exclude two properties they owned claiming they were held in trust for their children. The court became suspicious about the two trust documents and called in a 'font detective'. He found that one document, supposedly written in 1995, used the Cambria font and the other, supposedly written in 2004, used Calibri. Both fonts were part of Microsoft's Clear Type font collection developed in 2002 but not made publicly available until the release of Vista in 2007.

Gotcha! A fabulous detective story, worthy of a book almost!
