Is there a clever way to do subscripts in LC text?

Hi Graham,

You can use the textShift property for subscript and superscript.

This seems very clunky and also doesn't work too well cross-platform since different fonts behave differently. Also if it wasn't static - I mean if I wanted my user to be able to write stuff like this - I have no idea how I'd do it.
