You can't test from within Lisp for the availability of that
display property.  The best you can do is check the display type
and infer from that whether it's available.  (E.g.,
(display-graphic-p) => nil implies that it's not.)

But that method's not reliable, since the implementation of the
raise property is inconsistent across ports.  (On NextStep, raise
properties doesn't raise the text; they just increase the overall
line height.)
