What is the correct amount of baseline shift to apply for sub and super
scripts? Batik seems to use +/- 0.5 * ascender height. Is that the
common way of doing it? The spec says only: The offset ... is
determined using the font data for the nominal font.
Thanks

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
Vincent,
does FOray font expose this type of information Jeremias described
below?

But keeping it simple
