--- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Believe this is expected. 7.3 and earlier builds used a artificial calculation
in VCL for underlining and strikethrough.  But most fonts provide "metrics" for
these values that the font designer specifies.

At 7.4 build we changed LibreOffice to use those font metrics for underline and
strikethrough as provided by the font [1]. Only if the font does not contain
these metrics do we fall back to the old calculated underline.

But I can confirm the change in underline weight and position.

For OP, you might edit the "Dal libro..." style in your document to use a font
other than "Ubuntu" and see if you get better underlining result with PDF
export. Maybe using "Noto Sans" would be appealing? Let us know.

Note: I had to install the Ubuntu font family, and export to PDF where the
underlining weight of Ubuntu and the "Dal libro..." paragraph style seems
reasonable to me. But there was bug 154235 for the Liberation fonts, maybe the
Ubuntu font family needs a similar force ignore of its underline metric [2]? 

@Khaled, do you see an issue with Ubuntu font metric? Or is it just an
unfortunate font selection...
