question: underline position #117

Closed monkoose closed 4 years ago

monkoose commented 4 years ago

Hello @belluzj I have a question, why underline is so close to letters? On some font sizes it even makes text harder to read, because of not perfect font rendering, looks like it overlaps with letters.

Hard to read

Is it intended, so it will not overlap with underscores? If so? Can there be another version with lower underline like with looped k? Or some advices how to make it in a fork. Thank you.

Sorry for commenting on an old issue, but this is something I was not bothered with before, and after some time this issue appeared. I compared to another terminal which did not have this issue and I thought it is related to that terminal: kovidgoyal/kitty#3208 However according to the author there is nothing the terminal should do as it is supposed to be the font's responsibility.

I'd be wondering if you figured something out or whether there's a way to debug this.

So just in case someone stumbles upon this...

I adjusted the underline position and rebuild the font. You can download prebuilt here or checkout this commit and rebuild yourself.
