For fractions there are some fonts with characters that represent the
common fractions. But they are very limited - half,third,quarters etc.

Again some fonts offer squared and possibly cubed but you won;t get a
simple general solution that way, you really need to look at switching
font settings on a character by character basis.

I still think the HTMLtext widget may be he easiest way to go.
