I have run into an interesting problem with underlining text in certain
fonts, but only on the Mac II.

The BostonII and Palencia-2 fonts, when words are underlined, display the
underline 1 or 2 characters to the left of the underlined characters, as
well as under the intended characters.  This is consistant, yet does NOT
appear when the same font is displayed on a Mac Plus!  The underlining
PRINTS just fine, but displays wrong.  

So far, I have only seen this happen on these two fonts, but does anyone
know what's going on?

Thanks,

Jeff Harrow
