> I'm not sure whether a fixed value would work either. I meant a fixed font-dependent value. > 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? Since ascender and descender are mainly for line spacing, some designers will adjust them to get larger line spacing by default and some will do the other way around, so I’m not really sure about re-purposing it for underline position, but it might be the best we can get so far. Some fonts in the examples here might just have buggy descenders, for example Nafees Nastaliq has very small descender in both OS/2 table’s TypoDescent (used mostly by modern applications) and hhea table (used commonly on Mac) but much larger value in OS/2’s WinDesent (used commonly by Windows applications, especially old ones), which might be a result of the font being tested mainly on Windows rather than an intentional choice. -- GitHub Notification of comment by khaledhosny Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1055#issuecomment-281828225 using your GitHub account
