Thanks @elextr and @codebrainz, I have updated my comment above with my geany, gtk, and glib details for the record, but I just got the line_height workaround to work with excellent results.

For the benefit of other users, 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.

Thanks for the workaround. I can confirm it works. This is December, 2021, just installed Debian 11 which ships with Geany 1.37.1 which has the "bug". Using line_height=0;1; + uncommenting [styling], works fine for me. Display was quite troublesome without being able to see underscores. Thanks again.
