test_circle.py has been around for a while, but today (revision 10234) I added two other python scripts to test rendering for our devices. See examples/README.rendering_tests for details. Note especially that it is fairly pointless to propagate these tests to other languages since fairly rapid changes and additions to these tests are expected.
One of the recent additions is called test_superscript_subscript.py which tests nested superscripts and subscripts as well as simple superscripts and subscripts for both Greek and Roman letters. You run this script by changing directory to the build-tree or install-tree version of examples/python, then executing, e.g., ./test_superscript_subscript.py -dev xwin -cmap0 cmap0_black_on_white.pal -dev xwin and -dev svg (when the result is rendered with the the ImageMagick "display" application) passes this test with flying colours. Also, -dev wxwidgets (wxGC) gets the vertical positioning right (although as with many other examples, there are horizontal spacing issues with wxwidgets for this example). The pdf, qt, and cairo devices do not give correct results for this example. I will take responsibility for dealing with this issue for the pdf and qt devices, and I have asked Hazen off-list whether he would be willing to take responsibility for this issue with the cairo devices. Probably other devices will also have problems giving properly rendered results for this test script so please check your favorite devices and fix any vertical positioning issues or font-size issues that you find this way.
