One of my big gripes with the Mac or iOS text system is the lack of a real super/subscript attribute. I haven¹t tried doing custom attributes. Is it possible to define and use custom super/subscript attributes which combine the normal baseline shift attributes with NSExpansionAttributeName to get a typographically correct super/subscript. Geesh! MS has always had this, at least in Word, etc.
