Characters can be designed using all 37 columns of the Letter Quality/Proportional grid. Remember that in Letter Quality and proportional, as in draft, you cannot place dots in adjacent columns. There must be an empty dot position to the left and right of each dot that prints. Superscripts and subscripts You can also create superscript and subscript user-defined characters.
