With the exceptions of the glyphs Fred mentioned (they're included in the
typeface we use at work), I wound up creating a load of variables with the
fractions pre-set up because we use a fair number of Imperial measurements
in our documents and it got to be a pain using the character map to insert
anywhere between 3 and 5 glyphs each time one was needed. Now I'm using the
Autotext plugin to do the same thing, since it cuts back on the amount of
overhead in the document, but it comes to the same thing.

Assuming your typeface supports the 0 through 9 in super and subscripts, I
can send you the mif file I created for importing just those variables into
a document.
