Thanks to  Anders Thulin (mcvax!helios!ath@uunet.uucp), my nroff-to-ps
filter now supports "underline".

The Red Book (pg 93) indicates that the FontInfo dictionary "may"
contain the parametrics "UnderlinePosition" and "UnderlineThickness".

Does this mean that use of these parametrics may be non-portable?
Under what conditions is it portable or non-portable?

My Nec LC890 does support these variables.  Do other printers not support
these?  Do downloadable fonts "sometimes" support these?  etc...

thankyou....    tony....
