<style></style>
<font face="Arial"><font size="2">
<div>I have a challenge for someone out there. I'm working in Arabic script, and
have a need to include numbers in the text (in Hindi number format) that are
superscripted and enclosed in a kind of "star". I have included an image below,
but I don't know if that can come through on the list. (I can email it
offline if anyone is interested.) The image shows a "star" that is actually
the outside border of two squares rotated 45 degrees from each other. It may be
acceptable for the actual shape of the "star" in my application to be different,
so if someone wanted to produce a circle or a square (at least as a first
draft), I would be interested in that as well.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So is anyone up to the challenge of producing a (Xe)TeX macro that will do
this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Jeff</div>
