sub/super script

[yenknip]

Is there a way to get subscript / superscript font in free labels? I'm having to use multiple lables over each other in different sized text. This is far too tedious 😞

Almost. I want to be able to place an inverse cubic index (for example) I did find that I can change text size midway through a label to give the impression of subscript. However I can't find a method or hack to do superscript other than to use two labels over each other

Edit:

Thanks Mathan.  I guess I'll just have to keep using my dodgy hack 😛

Hi, Ed, If you need the cubic index only, why do not use it from Font? In Windows Start->Run...->Charmap, then you will see which code according to cubic index, square index, and so on:

UPD:

This will work for superscripts only. Not for subscript (there are no such characters in font table)...

No. Not possible.

You can select different font and font sizes. A subscript can be achieved by
making the text smaller, but superscript can't be done like that.

There are some fonts (like Arial) that have characters for square, cube and
others. For basic formulas you can use those. Look in the windows character
map application.

However, there is no superscript hyphen symbol, at least not in a commonly used character set. For instance in the units of density kg.m^-3 (kg/m^3 would work, negating the hyphen)

I suppose I could use an image as well

[Wiebe@CARYA]

You could use "Macron" (U+00AF in character map) in Arial font...

Note that you don't have to restrict yourself to Arial. You can also change
one character to e.g. Windings. Not that that is very practical, but it does
work.

Wiebe.
