Thanks Scott. I digged up the Font API in the OS Reference and prototyped
something to use an alternate font from Alpha Font Collection, no problems
at all.
Now I am just wondering if anyone already has a custom font set that
contains the subscript numbers. If so, is it alright to share it?
Thanks in advance.
