Use the Character Tool to see if your font provides true fractions.
If not, find a font that looks like yours that does, and then create a character definition that uses that font.
Then just apply the character tag to the correct character.

Tom, I found this list of unicode characters online at
http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/bylanguage/mathchart.html#fractions
The problem is there is not a special character for all possible fractions.
So if you intermix the styles in the same sections and have 3-3/16 with 4⅔
it becomes more

If you're using a typeface that has these glyphs, you can use the
superscript 0-9, subscript 0-9, and fraction slash to build fractions.
This eliminates some of the pain of changing font sizes and positioning,
and the fractions you build look exactly the same as the thirds,
fourths, and eighths
LeftAlt+0189 is the ½ character in most fonts.

I have text that expresses one-and-one-half as 1-1/2, which could be
interpreted as 1-to-1/2. I would like to be able to show the fraction
without the hyphen.
