STIX fonts don’t contain super and subscript numbers.
They are in STIX Two, so I can get them using:
\definefontfamily[stix-two][mono][Stix Two Text]
\definefontfamily[stix-two][math][Stix Two Math]
\setupbodyfont[stix-two,10pt]
But it is an entirely different font design, so a font fallback to STIX would
be desirable. Then the problem is that these super and subscript symbols are
spread on a number of different ranges. —It seems one cannot have a general
fallback in the case the glyph is missing.
In addition, they get translated in the typesetting, so when copied in the PDF
and pasted into a text file, they loose being super and subscript.
in general these super and subscript are rather useless because (1) only
a subset of characters is available and (2) it depends on selectively
applying the subs and sups feature
anyway, i can provide a solution to automatically add these scripts to a
font; just for fun i implemented something
% \definefontfeature[default][default][scripts=yes]
% \definefontfeature[default][default][scripts=.6]
\definefontfeature
[default]
[default]
[scripts={factor=.6,up=.3,down=.2,extend=1.5}]
but as i use some new trickery it won't be in the beta for a while.
