I don't understand the visual effect you're trying to describe. I don't
see anything out of the ordinary on the Palm IIIx ROM. Maybe you could put
a screen shot up on a website somewhere?
The underline is normally OR'd over the bottom row of pixels in a
character. That is, only the 'on' dots in the alternating on/off line are
drawn. Any descenders that fall between the dots remain, and other
descenders are already 'on' anyway.
Obviously this becomes more of a problem if you're running the whole OS in
(unsupported) grayscale, and trying to do anything with gray text.
