of a tool that enables creation of arbitrary diagonal

create graphics, but of course those of are of limited use.
See, for example, <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Though FrameMaker doesn't directly make use of OpenType features--
i.e. you can't type 2/3 and have it convert automatically to a
proper fraction-- it does understand unicode. So if you have a font
that includes numerators and denominators, you can use Character Map
to copy and insert them manually.<br>
<br>
There are also fraction fonts you can buy, that let you enter
fractions using particular keystrokes. The only problem I've found
with them is that the typeface is often substantially different from
the surrounding body text, making them noticeable. <br>
<br>
You can also find a method of using variables to create fractions
