Wouldn't have spotted it if I wasn't already looking for a difference. Thank you.

Wow, yikes. One has to read carefully. But there are so many (legitimate) fonts that exist!

Watch for this one too: com & corn for some styles an "r" in front of an "n" looks exactly like an "m".

wow, that is a tricky one! But I don't click on links. Rather, I go to my bookmark of the page.

Something I ALWAYS do is to place my cursor on the proposed link to see if it is actually what it purports to be. Right click, copy link and paste it onto a .docx sheet to see what the link is also works.

You are assuming that a simple font change can alter an email address destination. Are you sure just a font change will change an email destination point? I'd like to see some proof of that from a reliable and trusted source, not just a photo of what looks like a created text screen.

No, not just a font change, but replacing the letter m with rn can be missed if you're not watching closely.
