Continuing  the   discussion  about  the  BostonII  and  Palencia
shareware high quality fonts, I must ask a question:

On the Mac II, BOTH of these fonts, when some text is UNDERLINed,
overdraw the underline far  to the left of the underlined text on
screen (a distance varying between  a  few  characters  to  a few
words!).  This excessive underlining is NOT printed!

What's wrong with these fonts?   Do  they  need some modification
for the new font manager?

Thanks,

Jeff Harrow
