   I think it's half as wide.  If you enable the secret unprint error detection
   codes, you'll get a warning message if the unprinter ever puts ink of the
   same color on the same spot on the page more than once.  The reason this
   is not enabled by default is that it occurs so often (in this file) that
   you have to wait 30 minutes for all the warning messages to scroll across
   your terminal.  Pixels are being put on top of one another.  That would
   happen if it's half as wide as it should be, but not if it's twice as tall.

I'm quite certain you're correct.  There's no particular reason for
the height to be wrong.

   So, do you think that ESCi is permanently fixed at 360 DPI, or is the
   mystery ESC ( D command putting the machine into "double space" mode?

Yeah, I really wonder about that.  I wonder what other arguments to
that command would do.  Right now I'm completely puzzled by it.
