An MSDN blog gives us an idea of the complexity that comes with font positioning. The author tries to clean things up for the reader by having a lot of variables to keep the code readable:
Go take a look at the code and download the package to see how the positioning works. It'll take a bit of time to study.

But to make neat code requires that the code readers understand what I am trying to do, and that can be difficult.
Here is the end result:
