Thank you for that. Why do the US legal system still use typewriters in 2013 ?

They probably literally just scanned-in a printout of it. Likely they do this to avoid the issues of improper PDF redactions that got famous a few years ago. Do the redaction on real paper (or not) and just always scan it in, and it's nearly foolproof. And trust me, we get a lot of fools in the government. ;)

Is there some evidence that this was produced using a typewriter?

The font is obviously "American Typewriter".

Is that the one Dan Rather's source used?
