Superscripts/subscripts are probably the most common reason.
Originally it was needed for symbols also, but that use is
obsolete now that UTF8 encoding is standard.

I honestly don't see much need to change fonts inside a
single string.  So while I agree that this doesn't work
very well for many terminal types, it doesn't seem like
a serious flaw.  

Most terminal types scan the string for markup characters {}^_@&~ and 
skip the enhanced processing if it doesn't contain any.
For some reason this doesn't seem to be working in the cairo terminals.
The above work-around forces the same behavior that the terminal is
supposed to be doing anyhow.
