Figure 7-2.
Grid for designing draft characters
Because the last two columns are reserved for
the
space between
characters, they are not included in the grid. And since
most
charac-
ters do not use
the
bottom two rows, a heavy line indicates the usual
lower limit for an FX-286 character.
When you place your dots on this grid, remember that dots cannot
go on horizontal lines, but they can go on vertical lines
as
long as they
do not overlap any other dots. As you design your characters, draw
the
dots as large as you
see them
in the example on the left in Figure
7-3. If you draw them smaller, you may have overlapping dots with-
out realizing it.
Figure7-3. Correct and incorrect designs
If you do accidentally call for overlapping dots, don’t worry. The
program will still work, but only one of
the
dots will be printed.
