In my case, I could also reproduce this in hexchat 2.14.3-4 with Bitstream Vera Sans 8pt. There are multiple upstream bug reports dealing with this issue: * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/471 pango: "libpango 1.44.7 does not display fonts correctly" * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/478 pango: "Underscores not rendered in Hexchat when using Monospace 11/12 font" * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/392 pango: "Underscores not rendered with some sizes of dejavu sans mono" * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/264 pango: "Underscore character not visible on text with some fractional font sizes" * https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/2449 hexchat: "Underscores not rendered in Monospace 11/12 font" As mentioned in [1], it seems to be unclear whether this is a bug in pango, or in the applications using it. However, Geany has added a known workaround to its FAQ (increasing the line height) [3], and hexchat has merged a pull request [2] recently (not released yet) that apparently works around this issue. Mattia, I quickly tried the hexchat patch [2] and it improves things for me (line height is still a bit smaller than with pango 1.42, but underscores are visible again). Could you throw it into the Debian patch queue for hexchat?
