Vaguely related trivia: Anyone who's used a typewriter more than occasionally knows there are two basic types: pica and elite. Pica is 10 characters per horizontal inch and 6 lines per vertical inch, Elite is 12 characters per horizontal inch and seven lines per vertical inch. (There's also a 15 character per inch typewriter; can't remember what it's called.) The Apple Imagewrite II manual I have lists escape sequences for selecting various sizes; 9 cpi is called extended, 13.4 cpi is called semicondensed; 15 cpi is condensed, and 17 cpi is ultracondensed. this printer can be set to either 6 lines per in or 8 lines per inch; no names are given for the line spacing.
