The problem is that many Arabic letters descend below the base line in various ways, so a too high underline (like what Safari or Chrome draw currently) will end up too fragmented and looking ugly, the underline fragments can even get too small that they can be confused for dots or vowel marks. This is clearly seen in the Arabic part of the screenshot in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/707#issuecomment-261830559 (it looks a bit better since the underline is in a different color, but a black underline will be much worse). I think the conclusion for CJK in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/707 pretty much applies to Arabic, though for slightly different reasons. -- GitHub Notification of comment by khaledhosny Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/727#issuecomment-271130782 using your GitHub account
