I don't know. Yes, currently I use different fonts for super- and
subscripts. But that's the point: I want to use the same font for
super- and subscripts (and any smaller font, not shifted), they just
should be displayed differently, i.e., shifted up/down.
And having the same font with different font properties sounds strange
to me... Also, the font properties seem to correspond to the properties
--well-- of the font, i.e., the properties mentioned in the bdf files --
baseline-shift wouldn't.
