I watched an old movie yesterday where a date caption kept being shown 
to show what was happening when: I was fascinated to see the format of 
the date used. The ordinal letters of the date (st, nd, th) were 
superscripted small caps but each letter also had an underdot. I don't 
recall seeing this before. Does anyone know if it was once standard?

The film was "Went The Day Well?" made in 1942 by Ealing Studios.
