Superscript/subscript in 'insertText' string

I'm overlaying some text over an image, but `insertText` doesn't interpret subscript/superscript for some reason.

 IT = insertText(I,[0 50],['Hold_{new} = ' num2str(i)],'AnchorPoint','LeftBottom');

Are there any other solutions of using subscript/superscript that I could use here?

insertText() does not support Interpreter, so it does not support subscript or superscript.

There are no good work-arounds. The work-arounds that do exist include:

• rendering into a new figure, capturing the frame, create a mask from the frame, use the mask to write onto the image
• open a web browser to render the text, pull back the rendered graphic (I'm not sure how that would work at the moment.)
