Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks, that gets me closer (though \highlow and \lowhigh result in
"undefined control sequence" here).
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{}.
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't be applied
recursively (i.e. \small{\small{x}} == \small{x} ).
Thoughts?
James
