no sub-, super-script in PS from .fo

["A.R. (Tom) Peters" <tp...@xs4all.nl>]

I noticed that when I generate PostScript output from FO, sub- and
super-scripts are not rendered correctly but are plainly in-line.  PDF
output from the same .fo is correctly rendered below or above the
baseline.

I did not find this problem reported in the buglist or in recent mail
archives.  Another person confirmed this problem.

What to do?

The Fo snippets are simply like:
<fo:inline vertical-align="super">+</fo:inline>

In processing, the only difference is I apply "-ps" as parameter to
Fop instead of default PDF.  Fop uses Xalan2 .

Well according to FOP's compliance page, vertical-align isnt even supported.

http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-vertical-align

I will make a note to update the compliance page to say it works for 
PDF. I believe baseline-shift also works for PDF.

As for the Postscript renderer, it is not as mature as the PDF Renderer 
and so it is no surprise that sub/super scripts arent implemented there.
