Sami's suggestion should work fine.  The idea is to
create a new, small, character in the font that will
appear to be subscripted.  Most Windows fonts already
contain the superscript character (for exponential
notation).  The subscript character should look even
better, because you have the descender area to play
around with (meaning the 2 can really descend below
the  H and the O on either side, rather than simply be
a tiny numeral with its top flush with the top of the
capital letters).

The trick, of course, is knowing how to create a new
font, or finding one that has the subscript 2 in place
of some other high order character that you know you
won't use.
