Hi Wolfgang,<br><br><br><br>Thanks, that gets me closer (though \highlow and \lowhigh result in &quot;undefined control sequence&quot; here).<br><br>However, the superscripted text is not reduced in size at all.  This seems to be XeTeX-specific, as using PDFTeX works fine.  The same issue arises using \small{} in XeTeX, whether standing alone or in combination with \high{}.<br>
<br>Some light could be shed on this by observing that *all* text produced by XeTeX, when in comparison with PDFTeX, looks like has gone through \small.  I suppose this is possible as I note that \small can&#39;t be applied recursively (i.e. \small{\small{x}} == \small{x} ).<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
A minor problem: I&#39;m trying to place superscripted text in the text body -- things like &#39;2^nd March&#39;.  I can&#39;t see anything like 2{\sup nd}, so my only known solution at the moment is math mode: $2^{nd}$.  Despite this not being &#39;math&#39;, I don&#39;t really have an aversion to it.  However, there&#39;s a problem with it: the superscripted text appears in italic Computer Modern.  I&#39;m using Gentium Book Basic as my body font, using XeTeX.  The Gentium typeface is used perfectly everywhere, including the &#39;2&#39; in &#39;2^nd&#39;, with the exception of the superscripted text.<br>


<br>
So what solutions are to hand?  Is there either (1) super/sub commands in text mode, or (2) a way of fixing this in math mode?<br>
<br>
(Also, would this be a problem with ConTeXt or with XeTeX?)<br>
