I have a table with asterisks in the rows. The asterisks look like
tiny x's online, but are definitely asterisks in the hard copy
version.

The asterisk characters look differently online because the DECwindows
video fonts use different characters, tuned for the lower resolution
monitor (75 dots per inch for the monitor as opposed to 300 dots per
inch for laser printers). Fewer dots mean less detail to the
characters in general.

Hi Mary - I wish it was the resolution. The problem is that
the asterisks look like asterisks online everywhere, except
in the one table. In that table only, they look like x's.
Is there something in the table tag that says to make asterisks
into x's?

Tables use a sans serif font, whereas the text font elsewhere is serif.
So what you see in tables is what is in the sans serif font for
asterisks.
