DiacriticalPositioning

This function has not been fully integrated into the long-term Wolfram Language, and is subject to change.

is an option for UnderscriptBox and related boxes that specifies how close diacritical characters are drawn to the base character.

Details

With the default setting DiacriticalPositioning->Automatic, a selected set of characters that are normally used as diacritical marks are by default drawn close to the base character. All other characters are drawn at a greater separation from the base character.
With the setting DiacriticalPositioning->True, characters that occur, for example, in an underscript position are drawn relatively close to the base character.
With the setting DiacriticalPositioning->False, characters are drawn at a greater separation from the base character.
For a selected box object, DiacriticalPositioning is set as an option for the box object, and applies only to the selection.
At the cell level, DiacriticalPositioning is set, for example, as a suboption of the UnderscriptBoxOptions option for cells. It specifies the default setting of DiacriticalPositioning for any UnderscriptBox object in the cell.
