Typescript font for math script and scriptscript
Hi, I was wondering if there is a (good) way to have a specific font for sub/superscripts in mathematics that is different from the main font? I ask because I am working on a variable opentype math font, and it can be made to look a better if the superscripts are made a little bolder. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or examples. JR

PS I hate to say that I am hesitant about a variable opentype math
font, but I look forward to be proven wrong.

I am not sure how one would (sensibly) use that opentype feature along with
a change of axis for a variable font.
(Your hesitation for a variable math font is not unwarranted, and might in
the end not be something that works)
