Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting the
roller a smidge (or lowering it) for sub (or super) script. You must not have
ever typed footnotes.


Really!?? How do you get the font size to change?

No, the first typewriter to do that was the Selectric, as it had scripts of a
smaller font on the typing ball.
