    Making a Maths program, is there a font for the special characters

    Hi all,
    I'm creating a little maths program but am having trouble finding a suitable font. To indicate that a number is squared or cubed for example, I will need a font that has the small 2 and the small 3 in the upper corner. The font would also need the pi symbol too. I've been using the windows character map but have thus far been unable to find a font with the symbols that I need.

    All help is much appreciated.

    ² is chr(178) and ³ is chr(179)

    However, there is not a pi in the standard font set.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    You can try making your own fonts with a tool like 'Macromedia Fontographer'

    The Symbol font has a number of math characters (like pi). Microsoft has an Equation Editor. It may be on your PC under the name EqnEdt32.EXE. It does graphical representations. I'm not sure if it is possible to owrk that into your program though.
