Subscript Letters WITHOUT using the "Subscript" Character tag

Good morning,

Has anyone figured out how to subscript a letter without using a character tag?

I've been able to superscript numbers without character tags by using ANSI codes, but I cannot find ANSI codes that would allow me to subscript letters.

Thank you,

Cameo

    I found it there!

    I'm able to use 2099 to create a subscript n, but only in body paragraphs. When I try to add a subscript n to a Head1 or Head2 paragraph, I get a question mark.

    Do you know how to get the hex code to work in a Head1 or Head2?


    It sounds like your H1/H2 styles use a font with a more limited character set. Try a similar font with more characters available.

    If you are using FM8 or later, and if the subscripted glyph exists in Unicode, copy and paste it from the system Character Map, or enter the \u1d64 code in an FM dialog (U+1D64 is subscripted U [ᵤ]) by the way.

    If the desired glyph doesn't have a native Unicode instance, some hack would be needed.

    Hi Bob,

    I'm not familiar with how to enter \u1d64 codes in an FM "dialog."

    Could you tell me what the steps are?

    Best,

    You can use the Hex Input Palette: Insert > Character > Hex Input.

    Type in 1d64 and press Enter or Return.
