In fact, we use it sometimes when we update a draft of CSS to show the differences with the previous draft. Borders are not quite the same as underline and overline. The bottom border, e.g., is below the descenders, while the underline (depending on the font) is just below the baseline and goes through the descenders. Also, smart browsers may interrupt the underline for subscripts. > > My prposal would be a sort of "font border". > Three ideas: > - "hollow fonts" white with a black border.
