[comp.sys.mac.misc] Font containing own super and subscript numbers.

burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Charles Andrew Burchill) (05/22/91)

I am looking for a font that contains super and subscripts of its own
numbers.  I am working in HyperCard and need subscripts in text fields.

Please send the location of any fonts that have this capablility to
me directly at <Burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca> or post back here.

Thank you very much in advance.

The program Parafont from Design Science (the makers of MathType)
allows you to add such things as super and subscripted characters
to any Postscript font (and can add other things too like "old
style" numerals, fractions and so forth). Sounds like it would do
the job for what you need. Email me if you don't know how to find
Design Science and I'll forward you their address.

The freeware Hi-Low font (available from Sumex) has Times subscripts
and superscripts.  It will work fine in Hypercard 2.x, which allows
multiple fonts in a field.

If you want super and subscripts in Hypercard 1.x, you will need to
use HiLowMed (also available from Sumex).
