All Bitstream fonts that I have looked at have a bug in the subscriptyoffset. It 
is entered as a negative value, when it should be positive. This is what it says 
at Microsoft Typography:

"The Subscript Y Offset parameter specifies a font designer's recommended 
vertical offset from the character baseline to the character baseline for 
subscript characters associated with this font. Values are expressed as a 
positive offset below the character baseline. If a font does not include all of 
the required subscript for an application, this parameter specifies the 
recommended vertical distance below the character baseline for those subscript 
characters."

Values are expressed as a POSITIVE value below the baseline, i.e. values with a 
negative value are ABOVE the baseline (>_<). I reported the bug to Bitstream, but 
they didn't seem to be too concerned.
