Text with subscripts (e.g. "S\S^3;") is display incorrectly with the latest version on both Mac OS X and windows 64-bit.

The subscript ("3") is displayed before the normal text ("S").

I have been using subscripts to indicate electrical switch types on my blue prints.

It appears that superscripts are also being displayed incorrectly.

Thanks.

You can switch the text rendering to paths to work around this issue:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Text Rendering > Render text as paths
