Another nice feature in Illustrator CS2 is support for OpenType fonts and their built-in special characters, including fractions. Choose an OpenType font by highlighting your text with the Type tool (T) and looking for the O symbol to the left of the font name in the Character palette's Font pop-up menu (in Windows, the symbol shows only in the Type>Font contextual menu). The symbol will only be visible if the Font Preview checkbox is turned on in Illustrator's Preferences dialog under Type.) Type the fraction you want as "x/x" (for example, 2/3 or 3/4), select the text, choose Type>OpenType from the Window menu and in the palette, click on the Fractions icon.
