Subscript and superscript fonts

[falkpl]

How did a program made for engineers and scientists make it 20+ years and not allow for subscripts and superscripts to be displayed. 

E=MC2 is really not all that powerful.

Are there no chemistry math or physics applications developed.

One nice method for implementing this is to add an additional mode to string display called markup bhere simple tags could be added around characters to alter their appearance much like is done in HTML.

Like everyone else here I wanted to add text to Labview front panel items, things like wavenumber units, inverse centimeters (cm-1) and wavelength units, microns (um). I was convinced, and disappointed, that it couldn't be done. I was working on a datasheet generator for a laser product and the units have to look right. 

The charactor set in Word includes a "minus superscript" but not a "1", just an "i" so it's not any help. I did find a better character set that let me do this and it works. I tried it in the scale properties and also in a string. You can find it here;

Alt+0175=superscript minus

Alt_0185=superscript 1

Alt+0181=micro symbol

Hope this helps someone struggling.
