Cubies and cubicles are both italics, and the distinction is one of upper case italics vs. lower case italics (still hard to do on E-mail). Face twists are Roman (block) letters. Whole cube rotations are script letters. Also, in proper typography, a complement (as in R') would normally be a superscript "-1" rather than an apostrophe. (By the way, even with a word processor or text processor, I have trouble with script letters. I can't get Word Perfect to do script letters, nor Waterloo Script. I used to use TeX, and I don't think it could do script letters. I haven't tried desk top publishing of the Pagemaker ilk. Does anybody have any suggestions? If so, I suspect this is the sort of thing where private E-mail might be more appropriate than broadcasting to the entire list. Thank in advance.) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Robert G.
