James,
the second image exposes exactly the problem that an alignment parameter
would solve:
"TR" and "1/2pi" could be drawn aligned "baseline right" to the
references point on the y-axis.
"0.97" and "pi" could be drawn aligned "top center" to the reference
points on the x-axis.
The badly rendered example image looks like single characters are placed
at fixed positions out of context.
Of course, this will lead to problems not only when the fonts are
substituted, but also for the slight differences in font sizes...
Best regards,
Stefan

p.s.: To simplify coping with changing font sizes, it probably makes

How does that solve the font substitution problem? This is a real
problem that people actually have with exactly the use cases you
propose (e.g. [1]).
