------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 1 00:43:47 -0800 2005 ------- When underlining text that composed of characters with descenders, the underline will overstrike the descenders and reduce readability. The problem is worse in languages with a lot of combining characters such as Thai. Thai language has some characters with long descenders and some combining characters that are below the baseline. Indic scripts will also have the same issue. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156881 Please look at the attached Writer file. It shows English and Thai text when underlined continuously and when underlined but manually skipping descenders/char-below-baseline. This shows how the feature might look. There might be an option in Format->Character>Font Effects to enable the skipping feature. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
