about their work with underlines, which was spurred on by a change to Chrome
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=338148>.

One important argument for skipping descenders by default is that it's more
accessible for users with dyslexia and other differing abilities (3-7% of
any given user base):
