That doesn't mean there couldn't be I suppose but you can tell on yours because of the reduction in size of the devices. You can see this really good on the word CENT. See how the letters look skinnier than usual, with the "doubling" appearing shelf-like. A true DD would add size and the doubling would be the same height as the device. It can be really hard to tell on these sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff
