Pica is standard typing font found on most automatic typewriters however, in this the computer age pica is now a standard font that you select in your word editing program such as Microsoft Word. You will have to go to your programs FORMAT menu & find where to select the available fonts. Look for pica in the list of fonts. MS Word also has an automatic way to format typing to appear to be "pica"... Simply highlight the words you wish to change using your mouse then hit your right click mouse button & slide down to the FONT category (or format if you are using older versions). Once on the format font area you can choose SUBSCRIPT and that will result in turning your highlighted text into "pica" font.
