Text-On-Path Robustness

I'm assuming that for text-on-path, it's the baseline of the font that gets placed on the path, and exactly. But is this reliable across [almost] all applications?

I will be testing this on [very] old versions of InDesign and lllustrator, but that won't say nearly enough about robustness (unless it fails of course). If anybody is inclined to help by doing a quick test on whatever they have and reporting back, that would be most kind.

    In InDesign, the user can determine how the glyphs are aligned to the path. As I recall, baseline is the default, but it is a while since I used this feature.

    Yes, you can move the line where you may choose but it is tricky.  There is no nudge by arrow key thing but there should be.

    You can use baseline shift.

    In Ai, there's more options besides having it stick to the baseline. More options at type>type on a path> type on a path options> align to path>
