Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
Does anyone have any advice on how to express fractions with offset numbers and division symbols? I'd like them to appear as they do in Microsoft Character Map or Quark (ex. ¾). Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
First of all, you should use the fraction slash by typing Control+q Shift+z. Then you can apply character formats to the numerator and denominator. The numerator format will use the Superscript position and the denominator format will use the Subscript position. You set the specifications for superscript and subscript globally in a document by using Format Document Text Options. The problem comes if you have other superscripted and subscripted characters in the document that should have different sizes or positions. However, this limitation can be overcome with FrameScript.

Re: Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
Here are some other solutions: You can buy dedicated fraction fonts from Adobe, Monotype, and others. They will usually match a particular typeface; for example, Helvetica Fractions matches Helvetica. Or, if you use a typeface that has a corresponding Expert set, you can use the Expert font for the fractions. For example, I have Plantin, which has an expert font called Alt Figures. It contains each number in both numerator and denominator sizes and positions. The advantage to these numbers is that their weight is boosted so that don't look lighter than the surrounding characters, even though they are smaller. Its fraction slash is accessed by typing a normal forward slash.
