+## Geany does not display underscores anymore
+
+On some systems in combination with some fonts (e.g. "DejaVu Sans Mono" on Ubuntu but
+also others), Geany does not properly display underscore (`_`) as well as other
+characters which are drawn at the very top or the very bottom of the line.
+
+There are a couple of ways to work around the issue:
+
+  - try to choose another font
+  - change the line height via: `Tools` -> `Configuration Files` -> `filetypes.common`
+    and add or update the following section:
+
+		[styling]
+		line_height=1;1;
+
+    This will add a little extra space at the top (first value) and bottom (second value)
+    on each line (see https://www.geany.org/manual/dev/index.html for more details).
+
+
+Future versions of Geany (probably Geany 1.37) will fix the issue permanently.
+More details and current progress can be tracked in https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2502.
