How do you put a registered trademark symbol (R with a circle around it) in
a Scribe file. Can find no reference in the index. Thanks.

From: Rick.Busdiecker@SPEECH2.CS.CMU.EDU

In general, to get a special character (for the dover) you should find it in
the Font Book and use the @specialfont() command.  Unfortunately, I didn't
see the Registered Trademark symbol anywhere in the book.

It's also possible to "build" new characters, by overprinting characters.  A
great degree of precision is possible by combining @ovp() for overprinting
and @transparent() for fine tuning parameters like script (height).  Perhaps
you could put a small R inside one of the circlers from the BKG8 or BKG16
fonts.

The old Xerox font family ``Math'' contains both a registered-trademark
symbol (``R'' in a circle) and a copyright symbol (``C'' in a circle).
The ``r'' character gives you the former, ``c'' the latter.  The Math font
exists in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 18 point sizes.

How do you get this font?  Some of Scribe's .fon files include some kind of
Math font under facecode ``Q''; in that case, something like
        Scribe @begin(transparent, facecode Q)r@end(transparent) mumble
will get you a nicer version of
        Scribe @ovp(O)R mumble

Now, if you don't have a facecode Q, you'll have to resort to defining one
of the Math fonts with a @specialfont, something like:
        @specialfont(F7="Math10R")
        Scribe @f7(r) mumble
You get to pick the right point size for the font; the above example gives
you 10-point Math.


04-Apr-86 09:54    Karen.Brown@ay.sei.cmu.edu   Registered trademark temporary solution
I have a temporary solution to my registered trademark problem (worked out
scribe by scribe!). It is not perfect, but works, particularly since I do
not use a dover and have to depend on the laser printers. Just in case
anyone is interested it is as follows:

@define[q=plus, size +3, script +0lines]
@modify[plus, size -3]

Xerox@+[@ovp{@+<@#R>}@q(O)]

The same thing works to get a copyright symbol (we cannot seem to get the
Scribe copyright environment to work right over here). Use the same
definition and modification as for the registered trademark:

Copyright @+[@ovp{@+<@#C>}@q(O)]

Long, but better than nothing!





04-Apr-86 15:30    Karen.Brown@ay.sei.cmu.edu   More on Registered Trademarks
All you have to do is find the right person to ask. We were able to modify
the pspubs.typ file in the scribe database to include an R.
Now we can get a registered trademark by typing in:

@+[@y(R)]

Also, if you ever want a copyright symbol by itself (without using the
scribe environment), you can type in:

@y(C)

Hope this is of use to someone!
