Superscript

Recommended Posts

I think that there is no superscripted six inside this font as a separate character. But you can still use Superscript inside the Positioning and Transform area of the Character panel.

Just tried this and there are some fonts not showing the second glyph in superscript.

Which fonts? Screenshots or sample document?

Very few fonts have a full set of superscript numerals. Superscript two and three are common but superscript six is not.

I still have this problem with superscript. It will not set the second character to superscript

What font are you using?

Note: there are some MS-supplied fonts which have more complete sets of Unicode superscripts, and some have more complete sets of OpenType superscripts.

Bahnschrift

I get multiple superscript characters using Bahnschrift, e.g., 123 will be all superscript if I enable superscripts in the Typography section of the Character panel (but note that the font does not support superscripts for 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9):

So no solution unless somebody knows a font with all the superscript numerals available.

If you need something superscripted and the font you have does not support it via Typography, then you can use Positioning and Transform in the Character panel, and select the superscript option there to get faux superscripts:

Note that if you need to do this for some of the characters you should do it for all of them. If you need to do it for a superscript 6, for example, the ‘Positioning and Transform’ version of a superscript 2 is likely to be a better match than the ‘Typography’ version.
