I'm working on UWP app that has lots of text rendering, including some formulas and math equations. It's all fun and games until you bump into Superscript or Subscript parts of text with Cyrillic letters.
I've tried a lot of different font families:

<Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Foreground="White" FontSize="36" FontFamily="Palatino Linotype">
            <Run>Normal Text</Run>
            <Run Typography.Variants="Superscript" Text="Palatino 123"/>
            <Run Typography.Variants="Subscript" Text="Linotype 123"/>
            <Run Typography.Variants="Superscript" Text="супер1"/>
            <Run Typography.Variants="Subscript" Text="саб2"/>
        </TextBlock>

        </TextBlock>
</Grid>

and received this as a result: Render of given text

As you can see, some fonts will not render sub/super script at all, some will do but only for Latin letters and/or digits, and none will work with Cyrillic.
Is there any way to force UWP app render those symbols correctly?

P.S. I've seen questions: this, this and that, and none of answers worked for me.

P.P.S. I've also seen some mentions of BaselineAlignment property, but it's not available in UWP.

  • Some fonts do not support superscript or subscript,and we have no way to force UWP app render those symbols correctly.You could contact the font vendor to report the fonts which do not support superscript and subscript and let them update the fonts. – Faywang - MSFT Aug 27 '19 at 03:00
  • @Faywang-MSFT so, I should contact Microsoft, as I'm using default Win 10 fonts, right? – Overrided Aug 27 '19 at 14:27
  • It's better to contact the font vendor,because the Microsoft is not necessarily the supplier.You can see the supplier information in the font details in the Settings. – Faywang - MSFT Aug 28 '19 at 07:59
