What about letting the author decide whether the the user agent should
use the underline (and similar) information from the font itself?
Something like -
```css
@font-face
{
/* Standard font properties */
src: url('font.woff');
/* A new property, bikeshed later ;) */
underline: from-source;
}
```
Web font factories should (or could) know whether this makes sense or
not for a certain font and not specify it if they do not know.
Remember that a lot of websites (and fonts) are using a single
script/language/locale anyway, so the per-locale information is not
necessarily relevant to them. This could make some big portion of the
web enjoy accurate underlines (and similar).
This could be in addition or an alternative to `underline-offset`.
