I assume that the problem with my system is that a non-scalable font  
is being selected that that the fontsize needed for superscripts is  
11pt. When I specify 11pt, I don't get the base numbers dont' show,  
but the exponents do.

You might see something similar by setting the fontspec to "fixed, 
14" (?).
