Here is another thing showing even more how difficult the filing requirements of the Supreme Court are which was brought to my attention by the article/post I pointed to earlier.
The Supreme Court requires that all text be in some specific font including that of the documents in the appendix. That may still be achieved by opening these documents and selecting all the text then choosing the desired font. But how about when the court, like it is the case with the district court in my situation here, scans document and enter them as images? look at THIS for example. Try selecting and pasting the text here to ,WordPad, for example and see how it looks. Even this limited copying is actually the applications doing you a favor by what seems to be internal working as an OCR software to recognize an image as text.
Imagine ,instead of this, that filers put efforts on things that can really make the work of the court easier like filing in digital media with every reference ,except for copy righted materials that exist only in paper form, being , in addition to the legal form of citing, also a link which can take you directly to the exact position in the referenced document. With that they can still maintain an internal specialized capability to print the documents in the form they like and charge filers for that if they do not want to do it themselves. Why are they still insisting on striking two stones to start a cooking fire?
