Description stefan.andrussow 2005-01-29 05:58:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
It is impossible to have single characters with subscript. There is no 
opportunity to change one character to subscript.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type "abc" in a single cell
2. Highlight "b" in the string
3. ???


Actual results:
I can't get the cell-format dialog

Expected results:
I Would expect to get with a right click (or in the Format Menu) the cell 
Format-dialog to change to subscript

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I use gnumeric with windows XP

Seems sub/superscripts are not yet supported in Gnumeric. This would be a nice
feature, we should add that to the font selector, IMHO.
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2005-01-31 05:01:53 UTC 
Jean : yes.  I think the best approach will be to add super/sub script support
to GOFont (including selectors).  Then continue to remove the old gnumeric code
in favour of GOFont.
