Omnibox answers weather degrees symbol is unnecessarily small

Project Member Reported by cl...@chromium.org, Jul 24

Issue description

The ℉ seems unnecessarily small, especially given the degrees symbol is already superscript. I feel like it would read more cleanly if everything were the same font size: "66℉ Mon"

The "small even though it's already superscript" is standard treatment. See, e.g. weather answers in Chrome Stable or https://www.google.com/search?q=weather+los+angeles+today.

But when combined with the smaller base font size in the GM2 design, it is *really* small and is pretty hard to see clearly on my 1x screen (see attached screenshot).

Over to bklmn to see if he has any ideas or thoughts.

How are we defining the size of this? IS it just the "superscript" pf the main string font size? 

I have no problems making it bigger, but technically not sure how we should implement this. Any ideas jdonnelly@ ?
It's called the "SUPERIOR" baseline style, not to be confused with "SUPERSCRIPT".  A math exponent would be superscript, but the "th" in 8th would be superior -- the difference is that the exponent is raised above the base text while the "th" is top-aligned with the 8.  Unfortunately in this case, they're both quite small (I tried each).  They use the same font as the rest of the text on the line - so to make them bigger may require another font.  Certainly doable, but not trivial.
