Just asking: why is this not an issue for me?  As I mentioned, my 
underscore was too faint and too low, but it was always at least there.  
How can it be missing entirely?  Some font sizes were better than others 
tho.  Anway I now have the thing twice as fat and a wee bit higher so 
there's no missing it.
