Underscore is not always visible

[GFdevelop]

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Resolution: 1366x768 @ 60.05Hz

WM: Mutter(Budgie)

Geany 1.36, it_IT.UTF-8
GTK 3.24.12, GLib 2.62.1
Font: Monospace Regular, 10

From geany 1.36 I can't see the underscore:

[elextr]

Duplicate of #2287, see that for workaround of faulty fonts.

Note: the times its visible in your example is when the colour scheme selects bold which the font clearly has right.

I just got the line_height workaround to work with excellent results. The line_height setting can be found in "Tools" > "Configuration Files" > "filetypes.common". To change this setting from its default line_height=0;0; there are two things to note:

• #~ lines are commented and have no effect.
• The file format is an INI file so uncommenting the line_height line is insufficient because the [styling] section is also required; either uncomment this line or add a new [styling] section at the end.

The only uncommented lines in my filetypes.common are now:

[styling]
line_height=0;2;

With this setting and DejaVu Sans Mono Book size 12, underscores are visible. Using line_height=0;1; also works, but line_height=0;2; gives me, for the first time ever, exact agreement (as far as I can tell) with the line height in xfce4-terminal.
