This may be a stupid question, but how do you under line a word in a particular
font?

What I hope the answer is not is to draw a line under it. Fonts seem to come
with underline information built in (ie. underline postion and underline width).
How do you use this information.

If this is an easy question and I overlooked the obvious, please give me the
answer along with the flames. :-)

BTW I looked in the three Adobe books to find an example of underlined text. I
did not see any.
