Comment 21 for bug 170324

I would also really love to see this feature implemented...

Inkscape is a *so* much better choice than conventional word processors for creating compact cheat sheets / posters / etc. for science/math/engineering content, but the lack of proper subscript & superscript support is a major inconvenience...

It's not just about standalone mathematical formulae... (for those, there is always the textext plugin!)
Many simple things like
  - footnotes/citations
  - ordinal indicators (1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, ...)
  - indexed/named variables (x_i, v_first, v_last, ...)
  - chemical compounds (H₂O, ...)
  - charges of subatomic particles (μ+, e⁻, ...)
  - copyright/trademark symbols (℠, ™, ©, ®, ...)
and many many more, *really* need support for sub-/superscript within normal text...

Please consider adding this feature to Inkscape...
