Hi Brian,
In a notebook cell, I enter and evaluate:
%latex
$M^\mathsf{T}$
and get back a slanted M and a very crisp, upright superscript T. So
it can be done, but this is accomplished by running a full-blown
instance of TeX and creating a PNG graphic as output. $M^{\sf T}$
looks to render identically.
I get the error you mention when I add $M^\mathsf{T}$ via the TinyMCE
editor (shift-click on a blue bar). I think this gets interpreted by
jsMath, so any fonts will come from jsMath. From here I'm not sure
how to proceed, but maybe this will be enough for somebody else to
show the way forward.
