Super script with script?

[dolce5EC2]

pun not intended, 

whilst docs do mention

FontOpenTypePositionOption.OPENTYPESUPERSCRIPT,

I could not get it working

ok, found it by comparing 2 objects.
in case someone's struggling too, it's:
characterAttributes.baselinePosition = FontBaselineOption.SUPERSCRIPT

Bonjour,

Pour s'amuser un peu...

Document ouvert, lancer le script.

hello, the baselinePosition property seems not working on my character, while using $.writeln() showed the change of it.

textFrame.textRange.characters[Index].characterAttributes.openTypePosition = FontOpenTypePositionOption.OPENTYPESUPERSCRIPT
