By:

This is a story that a word geek like me can really appreciate. We talk a lot on this blog about the importance of metadata to provide additional useful information in discovery productions and help minimize the risk of fraud. You wouldn’t think that the font you use on a document could expose it as a fake document, but in this case, it did.
