Hi, Lanny– It is possible Windows has been around long enough for font-making utilities to have added the needed accessories for stand-alone installation, but I would not assume it. Perhaps by now it is enough to cover Windows rather than the tower-of-Babel world of DOS applications. The real work is not in the font itself but in the keyboard management and font installation. There are also lots of tricks in choosing the character code assignments. I have a DOS screen/keyboard/dot matrix font and driver set for super/subscript that I hotrodded from a version of my company's product, but it is not fit for ordinary users – that is the hardest part (besides, I do not have the right to sell it). Does your font depend on selecting a different font to be able to type the super/subscripts? That is generally harder to use than a font with the exotic characters in the extended (upper 128) character codes coupled with a keyboard manager, and the latter allows for global search-and-replace, database queries, and such things to distinguish between super/subscripts and regular numerals. –Doug
