<div>{{CSSRef}}</div>

<p>The <strong><code>font-variant-position</code></strong> CSS property controls the use of alternate, smaller glyphs that are positioned as superscript or subscript.</p>

<p>The glyphs are positioned relative to the baseline of the font, which remains unchanged. These glyphs are typically used in {{HTMLElement("sub")}} and {{HTMLElement("sup")}} elements.</p>

<pre class="brush:css no-line-numbers">/* Keyword values */
font-variant-position: normal;
font-variant-position: sub;
font-variant-position: super;

/* Global values */
font-variant-position: inherit;
font-variant-position: initial;
font-variant-position: unset;
</pre>

<p>When the usage of these alternate glyphs is activated, if one character in the run doesn't have such a typographically-enhanced glyph, the whole set of characters of the run is rendered using a fallback method, synthesizing these glyphs.</p>

<p>These alternate glyphs share the same em-box and the same baseline as the rest of the font. They are merely graphically enhanced, and have no effect on the line-height and other box characteristics.</p>
