If we're talking about math mode, then I think no overlay should be added on them, and let `org-toggle-inline-images' display them correctly. IOW, \(a^nb^n\) should be displayed as \(a^nb^n\). It is, IMO, a bug in the current fontification, in which sub/superscript handling leaks over math snippets. Regards, --=20 Nicolas Goaziou
