font-synthesis-position

Controls whether the browser is allowed to 'fake' subscript or superscript positions if the font doesn't have them built-in.

It is documented as part of the CSS Fonts specification. This is an experimental technology. The syntax and behavior are still subject to change.

/* Usage Example */
p {
  /* Prevents the browser from faking sub/sup positions */
  font-synthesis-position: none;
}

/* Syntax */
font-synthesis-position: auto;
font-synthesis-position: none;

/* Global values */
font-synthesis-position: inherit;
font-synthesis-position: initial;
font-synthesis-position: revert;
font-synthesis-position: revert-layer;
font-synthesis-position: unset;
Limited availability Since 2020 2% global usage

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
