All I did was to bring up the format pane (F11), choose Character

character styles and can be applied, like any other, to a selected
sequence of characters.
Interesting. I did exactly the same thing with both OO 2.3.1 and 2.4,
and when I apply the character format, the text does not change in any
visible way. Printing as PDF and viewing that shows also no visible
change. Trying the same thing in multiple documents yields the same
behavior.
Note that after applying the character style, all the text to which it
was applied shows that it's been subscripted (e.g., by selecting the
text, right-clicking, choosing "Style" and noticing the check mark
next to "Subscript").
I'm running Windows XP SP2. How about you?
What behavior do others get when they try the above?

Same - Win XP Pro SP2 and I'm up to date with updates. The selected text
visibly changes when I apply the style. In the Position section of your
style's definition, what are the settings apart from "Subscript" - what
values do you have for Relative Font Size & Raise/Lower by? If I set the
Relative Font Size to 100% I get the effect you describe - no visible
change to the text but a tick against Subscript in the Style context menu.
