@phistuck I think it's valuable to let web authors opt-in to metrics in the font file, but I think the specific algorithm is a little nuanced because of font fallback. In particular, you don't want the underline to jump around just because a fallback font is chosen for a single character. Luckily, the text-decoration spec already has the concept of a "decorating box" so the metrics should be chosen from the primary font of the element from which the decorating box is created (where "primary font" means "the font which affects the element's ascent and descent metrics") -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/459#issuecomment-271802076 using your GitHub account
