    Hi,

    I would like to use unicode to pretty print mathematical formulas (we
    use that in our symbolic manipulation library sympy.org), but
    unfortunately,
    there seems to be only some latin subscripts as written here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superscript#Unicode

    E.g. there are only "aeioruvx" lowercase subscripts, and there is a
    missing "q" in superscripts. We also need greek alphabet subscripts
    and superscripts (currently there are also only a couple of symbols).

    How can we fixed that? I understand, that it will take years, until
    this propagates to all systems, etc, but nevetheless why not to start
    now. Could you please direct me to some documents or howto what I can
    do to have this fixed?

    Do I need to propse the change somehow, do I need to give you a sample
    table of characters, maybe even some example font+computer program to
    show that all works? Let me know what I can do.

    Thanks a lot,
    Ondrej
