The problem with all of these fonts is no impression on the paper. The impact of the keys striking the paper left dents in the paper. Also the paper itself, if you're not old enought to remember typewriters then you don't know that they don't use copy paper. I understand that this is a quick and dirty way to get around having something actually typed, but that is also why I'm on the hunt for a good cheap typewriter.

So, you guys perform for skeptical, scientific, history buffs and let them analyze your props? They must be a real hoot to go to the movies with. Or plays.... jumping on the stage to examine the costumes and other props to see if they are real.
My audience must be dumber than rocks because they come to be entertained and never question the props and never pull out a magnifying glass to look at the fonts or feel the paper; when I have allowed them to hold them they have treated them with the care such fragile props deserve. After all, it is old stuff and they don't want to damage it and it gives me a reason not to let them handle it. I like to think of it as audience management. If they have to be that exploratory of old stuff they need to go to a museum, not a magic show. Most of them are not going to believe you have a one of a kind letter from some famous event, they just choose to suspend their belief in exchange for the entertainment. On the other hand, I always allow them to touch and pawn over the dead. Only once have I ever had an instance where the formaldehyde leeched through the mouth and left an after taste in the loved one's mouth.
