Re: Inconsistent font metrics for superscript unicode characters

I'm using some superscript numbers in unicode to make some fractions and noticed some inconsistent metrics: ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹. The subscript numerals are fine: ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉

An easy work around is to use a font that doesn't show this problem - such as Skia, Hoefler, or Apple Chancery. Obviously none of these are identical to Lucida Grande, but for fractions, you could probably use Skia without too much problem.

However, these are used in static text controls and menu items -- and I really don't want to have to start applying different fonts to my UI elements just because of this. It'd be far better for the fonts to be fixed.

But, it's a good suggestion if this becomes a bigger issue for me.
