Oooh now i know what you mean. there is another one of that series which does the same thing. give me a day or two, and i will pull it out of my collection.

Yes, the font is different, because the meaning is somewhat different: The first number two, obtained by the x^2 key, is a finite action (square the number "below" it) and the second two, obtained by x^n, is only a digit in a possibly multi-digit exponent. it is not possible to do "123^20" by pressing "1 2 3 x^2 0", because the two ^2 are not the same. i dont know if there is a technical reason to make the numbers different (and i highly doubt it too), but they have to be distinguished somehow as they are simply not the same. i wonder if that is mentioned in the users manual in any way.
