I want to lower some of the characters in a stretch of text and perhaps raise others. Unfortunately - I can only do this by declaring the raised characters as "superscript" and the lowered ones as "subscript". This despite me not wanting to decrease the sizes at all. I would like this restriction lifted - as subscripting or superscripting imply a difference in content, not just in presentation. I would also like for the UI to just let me have a negative/positive position control, similar to the negative/positive spacing control. So, subscript will correspond to -33%, superscript to 33% (whereas now they are both listed as 33%).
Created attachment 197142 [details] An example of how non-sub/superscript raised and lower chars may be used
What is the difference between "superscripting" and "superscript", and what use case do you cover? Perhaps you are looking for fontwork. Ultimately, you found the "relative font size" option. And it is possible to create a character style for this special purpose, which works pretty well. => NAB
