Re: [NTG-context] Super- and sub-script in text mode, or, fonts in math mode
Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks, that gets me closer (though \highlow and \lowhigh result in
undefined control sequence here).
However, the superscripted text is not reduced in size at all. This seems
to be XeTeX-specific, as using PDFTeX works fine. The same issue arises
using \small{} in XeTeX, whether standing alone or in combination with
\high{}.
Some light could be shed on this by observing that *all* text produced by
XeTeX, when in comparison with PDFTeX, looks like has gone through \small.
I suppose this is possible as I note that \small can't be applied
recursively (i.e. \small{\small{x}} == \small{x} ).
Thoughts?
James

So what solutions are to hand? Is there either (1) super/sub commands in
text mode, or (2) a way of fixing this in math mode?

Re: [NTG-context] Super- and sub-script in text mode, or, fonts in math mode
That's better. Also, for the record, I've been working with Mark IV today, and LuaTeX doesn't seem to have XeTeX's problem with \small.

[NTG-context] Super- and sub-script in text mode, or, fonts in math mode
Hi,
A minor problem: I'm trying to place superscripted text in the text body --
things like '2^nd March'. I can't see anything like 2{\sup nd}, so my only
known solution at the moment is math mode: $2^{nd}$. Despite this not being
'math', I don't really have an aversion to it. However, there's a problem
with it: the superscripted text appears in italic Computer Modern. I'm
using Gentium Book Basic as my body font, using XeTeX. The Gentium typeface
is used perfectly everywhere, including the '2' in '2^nd', with the
exception of the superscripted text.
So what solutions are to hand? Is there either (1) super/sub commands in
text mode, or (2) a way of fixing this in math mode?
(Also, would this be a problem with ConTeXt or with XeTeX?)
