Thank you everyone for your help ; I learned three things here : <br><br>a) Not all fonts are equal regarding superscript : Adobe Premier and Minion work fine.<br>b) Adobe Garamond Pro works too when using the starred form of the command.<br>c) Finally my worries were useless, because Cyril was fully right, French typography uses only an "e" (even in Switzerland according to the Guide du typographe romand). <br><br>Tom<br>-------<br>"How vain is it to sit down to write, if you have not stood up to live."
