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
