Yes, thanks, that gives me numbers and subscript lower case letters,
superscript letters are mostly missing.

So if I insert U+209C in the file it comes out like a little smaller 
than the lowercase t, and ² comes out a little smaller 2, they are
still confied within the height limit of the normal C, as can be seen
in http://aspodata.se/tmp/Test/subscript/subscript_t.sch.pdf

So, good idea, but it didn't fully work, probably some font problem.
