Use the Character Tool to see if your font provides true fractions.
If not, find a font that looks like yours that does, and then create a character definition that uses that font.
Then just apply the character tag to the correct character.

I have text that expresses one-and-one-half as 1-1/2, which could be
interpreted as 1-to-1/2. I would like to be able to show the fraction
without the hyphen.

Tom, I found this list of unicode characters online at
http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/bylanguage/mathchart.html#fractions
The problem is there is not a special character for all possible fractions.
So if you intermix the styles in the same sections and have 3-3/16 with 4⅔
it becomes more

If you're using a typeface that has these glyphs, you can use the
superscript 0-9, subscript 0-9, and fraction slash to build fractions.
This eliminates some of the pain of changing font sizes and positioning,
and the fractions you build look exactly the same as the thirds,
fourths, and eighths
LeftAlt+0189 is the ½ character in most fonts.

Hi everyone,
Running FrameMaker 8 on Win 7 SP1 x64 and on Win XP SP3.
I use a lot of diagonal fractions, like ½ instead of 1 / 2 (spaces added for
effect). But of
course, the standard set of fractions included in most fonts, even those with
extended
fractions such as 1/8, 3/8, etc

Thanks. I ended up using superscript/subscript to achieve the fraction. - JW

Hi Joel,
You can try one of the fractions fonts available from Adobe. OpenType
and PostScript versions are both available.
http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-USevent=displayFontPackagecode=234
These fonts allow you to type the numerator and denominator
in the attached screenshot its easily possible (after
checking advanced view and selecting Number Forms category) to check for the
available fractions in various fonts.

I am looking for a way to write fractions inline with my text, without using
the math functions. I looked at the Frame 8 Character Sets manual, and I see
1/4, 1/2 and 3/4, but nothing else. Is there a way to generate fractions
without just writing them like I am here (i.e. 1/4)?

One method is to buy any of the various fraction fonts available. Go to
myfonts.com or other font seller and search for fractions. Yes, you still
have to enter them by typing the individual characters

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.

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
