The `lift-above-baseline' function should be what you want, but with a
negative offset (so that it actually drops below the baseline).

#lang slideshow

;; Fraction
;; pict? pict? -> pict?
(define (frac a b)
  (lift-above-baseline
   (vc-append
    a
    (hline (max (pict-width a) (pict-width b)) 20)
    b)
   (- (pict-descent b) (pict-height b))))

(slide (hbl-append (t "x=") (frac (t "1234") (t "5678"))))
