Using “R” or “TM” in Text

[Andy Mees]

you can access all thes and ore directly from OS X’s Character Palette

that said, on my machine ™ is Option-2 and ® is Option R

Understood. But when you apply them, they appear full size and not smaller and higher in the text line. Is there a way to apply these symbols correctly as used in the print world.

Thanks,
Scott

If you use the Boris 3d Text, you can adjust each character individually, including the smaller size and baseline (which should raise it like your wanting).

FCP’s title doesn’t allow this to my knowledge, so I just usually leave a space and add another text layer.,

Boris is the easier, more convenient way.

[Scott Sniffen] “…when you apply them, they appear full size and not smaller and higher in the text line.”
Trying this in FCP 5.1.4, with both FCP Text and Boris Title 3D, with a number of fonts, the “TM” is properly superscript, which is how it it built, and the “R” is same height as normal characters, which is how I usually see it used in print. Same observed just placing these characters in TextEdit and other word processing apps.

well it works exactly as it should (superscript etc) on my system using Apple’s own Text Video Generator
