Underline is not positioned as per metrics


Recommended Posts

Hello Lagarto, the font is a custom font created with FontLab 7 (v 7.1.0  latest version) I'm attaching a screen grab of the underscore glyph,  as you can see it is positioned at -145. I'm attaching a screen grab from Publisher and another one from Pages.

Thanks,

Andredu

OK I see your point, « underlining is not directly related to the underscore » I used the underlining functions from Pages and same in Publisher. 

But then if it's not related to a font's underscore glyph metric, how can I set it  to a lower position in Publisher ? Why is it different in Pages ?

Thanks

Comparing the two sets of screenshots, I think you need to adjust the U-position, @Andredu.

Thanks Walt and Lagarto, YES the problem was the U-position which was set at zero, resetting it at -100 solved the problem.

I learned that Unicode 005F does not determine the underlining position used by a publishing program. I didn't test it but it seems that most fonts do support 005F.
