I've been encountering this problem for quite some time on any program that uses the KDE text editor widget. (KWrite, Kate, KDevelop, etc.) When using DejaVu Sans Mono, 10pt, underscores don't render for normal text. They *do* render if the text is bold. Version information: - KWrite version 4.14.7 - Using KDE development platform 4.14.12 Interestingly, Qt Designer does NOT show this problem. Underscores render perfectly for DejaVu Sans Mono 10pt. This was happening to me for quite a while on my old system, starting with at least KDE 4.12. On my new system, I installed KDE/Plasma 5 and the problem went away for a while. ...then I manually changed the font DPI from 96 to 100. Underscores no longer show up in KWrite with DejaVu Sans Mono 10pt. System: KDE Frameworks 5.25 with Plasma Desktop 5.7.3 Underscores do not show up in KWrite or Kate when using the DejaVu Sans Mono 10pt font at 100dpi, but they do show up in Qt Designer (both 4 and 5). After doing some more testing, I found that changing the anti-aliasing hinting style to anything other than "slight" fixes it. I changed it to "full" on my local system, which makes the fonts appear "sharper" and fixes the underscore issue. I'm still thinking that something's wrong with KTextEditor, but this at least is a usable workaround. Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software.
