Printing Text With Delta
37
modes for even more printing effects. Condensed, italic, double-
strike, underlined subscripts are something that you are probably
just itching to print!
There are 288 "theoretical"
combinations
of the modes that
we have learned. Of these, a mere 112 will work! (Some combina-
tions, like expanded superscripts, just don't work.) Instead of try-
ing to list all the combinations
that work, we have a program that
prints a chart showing all the combinations.
There is a sample of
each of the 112 possible combinations
on the chart. (The dots just
indicate the few combinations
that don't work.) Enter the follow-
ing program and run it to make your own chart.
