They are a part of the Unicode spec, but fractions with two digits in either part of the fraction are not included. Where would you have it stop? What typographers do is to use superscript[1] and subscript and maybe adjust the size a bit to suit, and then take out the space between the numbers and the diagonal. Best you can do when you get past the single-character ones. Sorry. j. [1] Actually typographers use "superior" characters (slightly different), but good luck finding those in your everyday word processor. The more advanced page layout programs have them, but that's about it. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9/10/11/12 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 New Podcast on the Block: FileMaker Talk - Business Edition: filemakertalk.com [email protected] Kentuckiana's FileMaker Developers Group Next meeting: Tuesday, February 25th, noon to 3:30 http://www.kyfmp.com
