 * Hi,
 * Using the thematic theme’s default fonts, I am trying to have all the numbers
   be the same size and line up the same as letters do. I tried using the following
   CSS in my child theme and making adjustments but nothing happens.
 *     ```
       sup,
       sub {
       	height: 0;
       	line-height: 1;
       	vertical-align: baseline;
       	position: relative;
       }
       sup {
       	bottom: 1ex;
       }
       sub {
       	top: .5ex;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thank you for your time
 * Jerry

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your response ( [Test1](http://test1.jerrypages.com/) ).
 * I have spent many hours on this including trying this CSS I have come across 
   a number of times:
 *     ```
       sub,
       sup {
         font-size: 75%;
         line-height: 0;
         position: relative;
         vertical-align: baseline;
       }
   
       sup {
         top: -0.5em;
       }
   
       sub {
         bottom: -0.25em;
       }
       ```

 * Where are the `<sup>` and `<sub>` elements on that page?

 * I didn’t respond to your question at first because I didn’t want to open the 
   issue that I use two sets of child pages. When I realized the numbers didn’t 
   line up and were not the same size was just the way the Georgia font was I should
   have responded and didn’t. I apologize for that.
 * Thank you for your time
