Hello,
When I apply the Superscript style to characters and underline them, the underline is no longer vertically aligned with that of the neighboring characters. I have never been able to resolve this issue.
Is there a solution?
Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Macintosh / Safari 14.0.3

    It wouldn't be a display issue...
    Do you also have it when printing..?

    Thank you for your response.
    But no, this happens during printing and when converting to PDF.

    Ah ok.. a horizontal alignment ...
    It's possible but not automatic..
    You put your characters in superscript mode, but without underline
    Then you select these characters and apply an underline style (menu "style") with a negative offset.

    Okay, I understand. But it’s quite acrobatic.
    You have to proceed by trial and error to align the underlines.
    It’s no coincidence that Xpress has been dethroned.
    The same goes for the management of non-breaking spaces before semicolons, before exclamation and question marks, and inside quotation marks.
    This should be handled automatically.
    But no, it has to be done manually and painstakingly.
    Thank you very much for the tip.

    Post Scriptum - But it is indeed a vertical alignment (and not horizontal). Since it is a vertical offset. Either up or down.
