Increase distance between text and underline

[deke]

I have searched the forum unsuccessfully for a way to increase the distance between text and its underline. Presently when underlining lower case characters the line is so close it obliterates the descenders of the font.
Is there a way to increase the space?
Thanks,
Derek

There is no way to manually increase the space but it seems that TextMaker uses the same default spacing for all fonts. I will refer this issue to the developers.

Thank you Sven

Hello Sven,
Any response from the developers regarding the position of the underline?
Thanks,
Derek

Not yet. I will inform you as soon as there is any response.

I am surprised such a basic word processing feature hasn't been fixed yet.

[deke]

I hate to be a pest but is there any timeline for a possible fix that is a standard feature of most word processing programs.

Hi, unfortunately it is still under analysis by the developers.
I'm sorry, but sometimes things that look simple have implications down the line.

Thanks for the update Miguel - hopefully it gets solved.

I have also thought, for a very long time, that TM underlining was both insufficiently eye-catching, for something intended to make the selected words stand out,and, frankly, unattractive. I have always thought the underline bar too close to the line carrying the text, and too thin. I wish I had thought to mention it before, so I am glad that i has now been passed to the developers for some attention.

Just checking in to see if there is any progress on this functionality.

This underline issue continues to give a rather unprofessional appearance to business documents that require this feature. Has any progress been made or is it unlikely to be fixed?
Thanks,
