I say "I believe" above, because I'm relying on memory
since I don't have subscription access to the DoA
on the ACM site. A sure sign that it was my font is
the vertical placement of the Greek letters - I had
them on the "function center" so that expressions like
<alpha> + <omega> aligned vertically. This was always
a controversial choice, and perhaps even more argued
was my choice of italic (rather than slanted) lower
case alphabetics... Certainly my font was the one used
in Eugene McDonnell's "Life: Nasty, Brutish, and Short".

All of this discussion, and the folks (e.g. Roger and
Devon) who wince at the difficulty of displaying old
papers are the things Ken thought a lot about when he
made the tough decision to leave the lovely APL symbols
behind. Practicality over esthetics...
