Unfortunately, another issue with the current CVS version was a
blocker for my particular case, so I switched back to an older
version a couple of minutes ago. Hmpf. My current Emacs version
(which displays the sub- and superscripts with correct widths) says
dejavu sans mono:pixelsize=17:foundry=unknown:weight=regular:slant=normal:width=normal (#x6A6)

It's the same here. However, the sub/superscripts used to work
until recently, see above.

If the adjustment of glyphs from different fonts is not feasible, I
must and can live with it. But it's certainly a useful thing to
have in my opinion.
Tschö,
Torsten.
