           Summary: Subscript and superscript vertical positioning is
                    incorrect
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: webaccount at oke.org.uk

Subscript:
Sans Condensed: the vertical position of subscript text (as achieved in HTML
using <sub>) is too high - it is aligned with the baseline instead of being just
below it.

Superscript:
Sans, Serif, Sans Mono, Serif Condensed: the vertical position of superscript
text (as achieved in HTML using <sup>) is too low - it is aligned with the
baseline instead of being just above the top of the text.
Sans Condensed: the vertical position of superscript text (as achieved in HTML
using <sup>) is much too high - it is about four line-heights above the top of
the text instead of being just above it.

The HTML to reproduce all of the above problems (on both Windows XP and Fedora
Core 3 using Firefox 1.0.7) is as follows:

<html>
<style type="text/css">
p{border-width:1px;border-style:dotted;}
</style>
<body>
<p style="font-family:DejaVu Sans">
DejaVu Sans<sub>subscript</sub>ABCDEF<sup>superscript</sup>GHIJKL
</p>
<p style="font-family:DejaVu Serif">
DejaVu Serif<sub>subscript</sub>ABCDEF<sup>superscript</sup>GHIJKL
</p>
<p style="font-family:DejaVu Sans Mono">
DejaVu Sans Mono<sub>subscript</sub>ABCDEF<sup>superscript</sup>GHIJKL
</p>
<p style="font-family:DejaVu Sans Condensed">
DejaVu Sans Condensed<sub>subscript</sub>ABCDEF<sup>superscript</sup>GHIJKL
</p>
<p style="font-family:DejaVu Serif Condensed">
DejaVu Serif Condensed<sub>subscript</sub>ABCDEF<sup>superscript</sup>GHIJKL
</p>
</body>
</html>
