Super/subscript in attributes

Its not possible is it?Like for instance it would be good to have the "st" in 1st superscript for the first floor in my titleblock attributes. :( We currently have to write the text in upper case and the "st" text in lower case.Realise you can make text super/subscript by ^3 and 3^ but Autodesk dont seem to have catered for this in attributes. :roll:

Depends on what font your using.
Everyone has a photographic memory, Some just don't have film.

Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. (Thanks Kerry for reminding me)

That being said, go Here.  That is my version of Romans.shx  It has 4 modifications over standard Romans.

1- the Zero has a slash
2- the "I" has the crossbar on top and bottem
3 Super Script - any text within the [ and ] will be superscript
4 Sub Script - any text within the { } will be sub script.

<IMO>Please don't use custom fonts unless there is NO chance the afflicted drawings will be issued to third parties (even then I'd avoid custom fonts).</IMO>

third that, I've recieved a drawing with a custom romans font before, when I printed it the text was totally unreadable, when I questioned the architect, he said "well it looks fine on my computer".  I sent his drawing back to his boss on a paper print and he changed it. :)

Is it likely that this scenario may happen?When non CAD profffessionals try to ram a new wonderfull font down the neck of CAD workers.Like this is our new  company font use it, you must comform to company QA.You can get round this issue by sending the font files, but whenever their are custom fonts in drawings, they are never sent.

by all means use custom fonts, but give them custom names, don't call it "romans" cause that's allready taken.

I designed custom linetypes for our drawings, but the names all start with RYBKA, my company name.
