I don't have a clue what kind of style you are looking for? My Sophisto family carry three expert weights, which all have a-z as superscript. Have a look yourself if it fit your purposes?

Thanks Stefan, the request is for a friend, he didn't mention what style he wanted, but has since gotten back to me and said Sophisto looks perfect.

He needs it for embedding into a flash file (something to do with superscript not working natively in flash so he needs to use a font with superscript characters as part of the regular character set).

I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to flash, and he's just asked me:

"I need to test that it'll work with standard unicode in XML"

I guess he's talking about the characters being part of the standard unicode set rather than 'extras' stuck in to spare unicode slots, so he should be alright I think...?

He is more than likely going to need an OpenType font. Type 1 Postscript fonts had to "lie" about the character name for anything not in the standard encoding vector, and of course, used glyph names rather than Unicode. TrueType fonts are a bit different, but older ones may not have the correct Unicode for superscripts in the font. I mention this because when someone has characters in a separate "expert" font, they usually did so to get around the hard-wired encoding of Quark & older Macs & PCs.

If Sophisto is not now an OpenType font, I'm sure Mr. Hattenbach could make up a release to do what is needed.

I believe the later issue of Palatino TT (Linotype) has all the lowercase alpha characters as superiors. I don't know of any font that has uppercase superiors. One could be made, of course.

Hope this helps

Sophisto is OTF ready though not 100% official yet. Just contact my friend and distributor Rodrigo Cavazos at Psy/Ops and he will help you out.

A couple of (sans serif) fonts on vllg.com feature complete superscript alphabets:
Apex New & Galaxie Polaris

I'll just point out that most superscript letters don't have a standard encoding in Unicode. They may have PUA assignment, if you're lucky.
