1571.0. "...x,y,z,<grey rectangle>,..." by CIVAGE::LYNN (Lynn Yarbrough @WNP DTN 427-5663) Fri Feb 21 1992 18:58
An increasing number of notes have been written recently with locally
unintelligible characters in them - superscripts, mainly, I think. I have a
fairly sophisticated DECwindows terminal, but I can't read them, and I
suspect folks with older terminals have no chance.
Now I'm in favor of plunging ahead, technology-wise, but at least those who
use more advanced stuff need to take care that what they do is available to
all. I'd like to see NOTES be able to deal with PostScript images, for
example, but if I use that capability I feel constrained to at least tell
people how to read the stuff.
Maybe I'm just being dense, but will someone please explain how to (a)
generate, and (b) set my terminal to read, these special-feature
characters [under DECwindows]?
Thanks to all contributors toward easing my failing eyesight B-)

| Thanks for the suggestions. The characters are still not readable except
when using the DECwindows interface to NOTES. Guess I'll have to switch,
although the DECW fonts are very faint.
Signed,

It's easy to make DECwindows notes use non-faint fonts. Send me mail.
