I've used SVG in the past to work around limitations in css alignment (cloth before and after new layouts made it unnecessary--I don't write CSS enough to remember how they work, but adding text to a quick drawing in inkscape is fairly trivial)

The correct minus sign looks a lot clearer than a hyphen-minus when printing out negative numbers, especially at small font sizes. I have in the past written code to convert them.
