Underlining text

Subject: Underlining text

I'm underlining some text using NSMutableString's NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName attribute (on 10.7). However, the results aren't quite right.

There seem to be 2 separate issues:

- The underline seems to stop 1 or 2 pixels short of the end of the underlined text.
- If the text has a NSShadowAttributeName set, the shadow drops _on_ the underline. This makes it seem as if the underline and the text are not in the same plane. [I'm assuming the 'under' in underline refers to the y-axis only and not to the z-axis…]

Are these known limitations / bugs or is there a better way to draw underlines?

Thanks,
patrick
