I still use InDesign for most things while waiting for Scribus to add a few features I need, one of which is optical character spacing. Optical character spacing is unique to InDesign, not available in any other application, not even TeX. It works by disregarding the metric spacing tables built into the font and, instead, measuring the white space between the letters to adjust the kerning. The result is superbly spaced characters. Now, if this can be done with text, why could it not be done with the underline? In other words, if the character has a descender, measure the position of the descender and run the underline right up to it, leaving a bit of white space on both sides.
