Correct? Right. * subscript/superscript variant glyphs are only used if all characters are supported by the font * default styling of sub/sup remains unchanged, synthesis occurs using the existing font-size/vertical-align swizzling An author using 'font-variant-position' would need to override the rules for sub/sup, as shown in the example in the spec.
