> The following shows that for vowelled text the result is unfortunately much worse. @r12a, actually, IMHO, some of those results are actually the best you can get out of the font. For example, the Noto Nastaliq Urdu: ![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/37169/23231425/8db60254-f8fc-11e6-8648-2079982561df.png) > Using a fixed value makes sense I guess since you don’t generally want the underline position to change between different lines based on their context, but may be the descender is not the best choice at least for Arabic since glyphs tend to go past the ascender and descender rather often, no idea what would replace it though. @khaledhosny, as we have seen in various examples, it does happen that some letters (or diacratics) cross the descender line in Arabic script text, and I thought we agreed that there's nothing wrong with that. And, about the font property value not being set correctly, what do you think about why the descender is being set too high (or too low) for Arabic fonts? -- GitHub Notification of comment by behnam Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1055#issuecomment-281800438 using your GitHub account
