I'm having difficulty with using superscript for footnote numbers in text. The characters selected and styled superscript become smaller (too small in fact) but they are on the same base line as the rest of the text instead of raised above it.

Also fonts in my text fields seem smaller than they normally are. I have to use size 24 to get letters that in my word processor look about the same at 12 point. Am I doing something wrong?

That's weird, i do not get the small type, and superscript works as intended... what's you OS setup, and LC version?

also try to set fixedLineHeight to false, see if it helps...

I'm running LC 4.5.0 on a Dell latitude under Windows XP. I tried fixedlineHeight from the inspector checkbox, not a handler and it doesn't make a difference. Subscript produces exactly the same result.

You're using textshift to set the superscript feature, right? It's working for me on XP, OSX, and linux, and in fact I need it. What's your code look like that sets the shift amount?

Thank you so much! I never heard of textShift -- but then I never tried to use superscript in all these years.
