Not all fonts contain the extra fractions such as 1/6, 5/6.

If you only specify characters that exist then everything works as expected in 8.16 and 9.11.  To get the sample to work below in 8.16, 9.11 then just change the font to Arial Unicode MS.

I have used the following code for testing

Note :The string ends with  "1/4  1/2  3/4   1/3  2/3  1/8  3/8  5/8  7/8  1/5  2/5  3/5  4/5  1/6  5/6"

            QP.SetOrigin(1);
            string str = "12345: HELLO WORLD - ¼½¾ ⅓⅔⅛⅜⅝⅞  ⅕⅖⅗⅘⅙⅚";

            int id = QP.AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont("Arial", str, 0);

            QP.SelectFont(id);
            QP.SetTextSize(18);
            QP.DrawText(20, 30, str);

            QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf");

1. Using Arial I get the correct output up until 7/8.  The other characters don't exist in the font.

2. If I change the font to "Arial Unicode MS" then it generates the full string correctly.

How do I print these unicode superscript characters?

> http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/superscripts_and_subscripts.html

I can print superscript 1,2 and 3 because they're found in a lower range of codepoints, but I can't print the slash or the rest of the numbers for numerators or denominators.  In debugging, Delphi shows me 5/9ths up until I send the string off to QuickPDF. When it comes through in quick PDF I get nothing, it's not even considered in calculating the width of the text box.

I tried using embed and non-embeded true type fonts, other than that I don't do anything fancy to fonts in quickPDF.

(using QuickPDF 8.16)
