Problem

Symptoms: When the user types subscript characters several times on the same line, the subscript is never in the same position. The characters scrunch together sometimes and are not subscripted other times. The text looks fine in View Document. Solutions: The problem is that the printer uses the spacing equal to the font width (i.e., 10 pitch uses horizontal spacing units of 10, 12 pitch uses horizontal spacing units of 12, etc.) When a font is selected with a smaller pitch for sub/superscript, the printer prints all of the 10 pitch font from the left hand margin, and then it prints a second pass in 12 pitch, calculating the entire line in that motion unit, causing the super and subscript fonts to be printed incorrectly. The correction for this is to use the original base font for the automatic font change for the super/subscript attributes. Or in other words, don't change fonts on the same line.
