The mathematical center of the line is not necesarily the
optical center, so a somewhat more correct approach would
put all the stuff in an \hbox and then compute manually
how far it has to drop down.
For a more pleasing look, it would perhaps be even better
to line up a normal '7' as if it was an oldstyle numeral,
and then enlarging it while keeping the same vertical
alignment ratio.
Cheers, Taco
