A legal document has a "cut-and-paste" one name change in management.
I believe all 15 pages of the original document, prepared in 1983 is in Cambria or Century, Microsoft Word on a PC.
The inserted name is in a similar font but some capitalized letters look slightly narrower, perhaps done 2009 on a Mac.
Is anyone interested or technical enough to help analyze this? It's important.

Without spaces in the filename, ta very much.
Is 1983 a typo? If not, you need to take into account the technology of the period. I'd guess a law firm would have more likely used a Wang or IBM word processing machine for preparing long documents, rather than an MS-DOS machine, and for printing the document would get fed into a daisywheel printer or Selectric. Fixed-space type was still predominant, and choice of proportional fonts was limited and determined by the printing device. And Cambria wasn't released until 2007.
If this is a legal matter the court would want to see the original signed document, not a photocopy or new printout. I'd ask to see the original, and it'll be clear if the name was altered.
"f this is a legal matter the court would want to see the original signed document, not a photocopy or new printout."
I've dealt in a lot of cases like this, and have seen the original available well less than half the time. Forgers are usually smart enough to "not have" the original for one reason or another.

I trust you might get a good answer if you post your request at the Font Identification forum http://typophile.com/typeid
