Using superior and inferior special characters
OpenType fonts include superiors and inferiors--reduced-size characters that are raised or lowered in relation to the font's baseline. Uses for these characters include scientific notations, abbreviations, and fractions. You can set superior and inferior characters using the Position pop-up menu in the OpenType palette.
To use superior or inferior characters: - Do one of the following:
- To apply the setting to all text in an object, select the object.
- To apply the setting to specific characters in an object, select the characters.
- In the OpenType palette, choose an option from the Position pop-up menu:
- Default Position to use the default position for the current font.
- Superscript/Superior to use raised characters (if available in the current font).
- Subscript/Inferior to use lowered characters (if available in the current font).
- Numerator to use characters designed as fraction numerators (if available in the current font).
- Denominator to use characters designed as fraction denominators (if available in the current font).
