I'm reading a book ("The Strangest Man", a biography of the physicist Paul Dirac, by Graham Farmelo, well worth reading) that contains quite a number of superscripted numbers. However, these are displaying as subscripts.

When I load the book into the ebook viewer built into Calibre, or open it in Sigil, the superscripts display correctly, but on the screen of my Aura HD (firmware 3.12) they come out as subscripts. If I look at the code in Sigil, it looks correct to me - eg 10<sup>78</sup> for ten to the power of 78.

I've tried several of the different fonts provided with the Kobo (Georgia, Malabar, Amasis), and the display of the superscripts is wrong with all of them.
