to control the depth of the underlining.
Unfortunately, this underlining is still sometimes too far beneath the word underlined. I had thought the problem is the -StrutDepth/2. But even if I change it to an absolute value, the underlines to not appear at the same distance even when the word.
Try this test file:
\definetextbackground[underline] [location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off]
\startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset} \iftracepositions show_multi_pars \else draw_multi_pars \fi ; path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-.50) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic

What I need is underlining that occurs at a fixed/constant distance below the words underlined (allowing for descenders, of course, when they are present).
Any suggestions?
