Putting Gemini to Work

the sloping in this sample program is the frequent use of superscripts and subscripts.

When you print “supers” and “subs:’ Gemini executes the “scripts” in the double-strike mode. Double-striking involves printing the characters once, then reprinting them 11144th inch lower. One one-hundred-and-forty-fourth of an inch isn’t even detectable (unless you have the eyes of a hawk).

In most printing situations, you won’t use superscripts and subscripts more than once or twice a line (if at all). Thus, printing the remainder of a line 1/144th or 21144th of an inch lower would not be noticeable. In our sample program (Figure 5-2),there were I2 “supers” and “subs” per line - giving a total of 121144ths (or
