OK, sounds feasible, I'll give it a try.
I do note that the standard underlining can't be doing this though,
because the ends of the underline are always square, whereas this
technique will curve the underline according to the shape of the
glyph. I'm also not sure if it's going to shadow the underline
correctly. This might be acceptable, and even preferable, but I'm
shooting for parity with standard text layout if possible.
