text formatting

[mochamoo]

I have a macro that attaches a block with 2 attributes to each line on the screen. One attribute is length, the other is size. Some of the sizes I need are fractions like 1/2, 3/4, and so on. I have seen text displayed much smaller in a fractional format. Also, I have seen a program in which an open bracket '[' stood for 3/4 and a closed bracket ']' stood for 1/2. So when you ran the "attedit" command, you would see a bracket in the text-box. However, when the attribute was displayed in model-space you would see a small "1/2" or "3/4". Any idea how this is done ???

Thanks for the help,
James

You can get the franctions displayed smaller by seting the text to "simfrac.shx"
q=1/16
w=1/8
e=3/16
...
s=3/4
...
g=15/16
k=CL (symbol)
l=PL (symbol)

This text displays this way for lower case letters. Upper case letter display the letter.
