I finally had time to try out your new code a bit, and I like it. It
works well for the very simple cases, like superscripts. One thing
that I noticed is that the height of the superscript depends on the
font size -- is this a hardwired distance, or relative to font size.
Also, it seems that when using the regular unicode fonts, more
difficult math expressions, e.g., integrals, look terrible. I guess
this is the point when CM is unavoidable...
I have been thinking that it might be possible to use some of the CM
sans fonts, like CM bright. Also, there is a Arev font set (vera,
backwards -- basically Bitstream Vera with math extensions) that
looks like it might be promising, but it seems that mathtext does not
see these extented characters.
I found an excellent writeup on math/text font combinations in LaTeX
here:

from this informative page:

There are, of course, many others.
