True, but often only a few numbers are provided unless you have a special
font, so in the general case, you'd still have problems. (I expect the proper
superscript 1, 2, 3 followed by a faked superscript 4 would look even worse
than a consistently faked set of numbers.)

I don't usually change existing values except to fix bugs since the
change effects so many documents. You can put the values you prefer in a
customization layer, of course.
