Hi

In the new version, text underlines seem to have been shifted to the bottom
of the font decender. Is this an error or something done on purpose, and is
there a way to fix/adjust it to sit just a bit below the font baseline as it
did in older versions?

Text  looks terrible with the underlines hanging down so low...


Any ideas why it is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks

Well, i know that much... I tried to find the reason why the line in PS CS
is positioned so much lower.   No matter what I do changes it.

I understand ehat you said about line tool.  I know the alternatives, I just
want to know why text underline feature is not working the way it should.

Say "bug".  It puts the underline outside the rationalized area of the
deepest descender while other programs, for example Word, actually strike
through the descenders.

That's what I think it is even though some people on Adobe forum tried to
justify that behavior.   Even PS 7 underlines are a correct, I don't know
what to do with it.  Wish Adobe would fix it soon

I don't do a lot of text in Photoshop but when I do want underlined
text, I just use the line shape tool to draw a line where I want it. I
have tried everything else in the character palette but nothing
changes the position of the line.

Try using a program designed to handle text properly, Photoshop is not it.

Adobe, being experts in typography, would NEVER underline text. As any
knowledgeable typographer knows, underlining is an editor's mark meaning
that this text should be italicized. Underlining text also greatly
reduces it's readability. In short, it just should NOT be done.

Therefore, I'm sure the best solution would be to learn proper
typography. Thank Adobe for the lesson.
