Well, it may work, but I'd hardly call this working "fine".  So I have to keep
kerning, by trial and error, until it looks right?  Doesn't FWP allow a simple
overstrike? I hope they fix this in the next release (maybe overstrikes,
superscripted subscripts, etc. will be part of a mathematical or equation
package that FWP will probably add in the future).  I also don't like (who
does?) some of the other "trial and error" methods I've heard about -- pasting
a sidebar I think.
