[ROOT] TLatex vertical alignment

Hi Rooters,

TLatex appears to vertically align text based upon
the lowest/highest element drawn, including sub/superscripts.
e.g.

  TLatex latex;
  latex.SetNDC();
  latex.DrawLatex(0.5, 0.5, "K_{S}");
  latex.DrawLatex(0.6, 0.5, "K^{*0}");

aligns the bottom of the subscripted "S" with the bottom of the
other K.  I would prefer the alignment to be based upon the bottom
of the normal script, i.e. have the two K aligned and have the
S be lowered from there and the *0 be raised.

Do others agree?  Would this be easily possible?

Thanks.

Stephen
