Does anyone know if it's possible to change the  baseline offset
for a superscripted character.  What I want to do is create a tm
or rtm that's smaller than the size I normally get when I apply
Superscript to a character.  I've already tried to knock down the
point size in the Character Format menu, but this also knocks down
the baseline offset of the superscripted character to some percentage
of the smaller point size I just applied, so my tm/rtm ends up about
even with the x-height and not the ascenders.
