It's probably easiest for now to do as Batik does. However, Type 1 fonts provide information about sub and super scripts (size and placement) in the PFM file. That data is currently not parsed. I assume there's something similar in TrueType. So ideally, the font would supply the information how exactly to handle super/sub script. But keeping it simple for now will certainly not hurt.
