Reply #118: They most certainly did

The selectrics had many different type balls to choose from. They were capable of a great deal of special typing. Proportional spacing was readily available in those days as were super/sub scripts.

There was also a machine called a "justowriter" or something like that. It had several typefaces available and you typed into a paper punch tape. Then you could print it out in the typeface of your choice. I was working in a state university in the late 60's/early 70's and these machines were probably common in government agencies.

You can probably find both machines in the Smithsonian now, but they were rather common back in the old days.
