Subject: Another small \underbar issue
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:02:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130912160249.GC23953@darjiling> (raw)

I just noticed the recent issue brought up regarding \underbar, and 
wanted to mention a curiosity that I have come across.

After "RE: " the underbar is contiguous.  However, if we change it to 
"Re: " there is a break in the underbar.  This seems independent of font 
selected, althought I have only tried it was gentiumalt, texgyreschola, 
texgyretermes.  I was writing a business letter recently and used what I 
think is proper, "Re: ", for the subject line.  It was only then that I 
came across this.  Is there an explanation for this?

On a slight tangent, what would be the best way to tighten up the space 
between the "\hl" or "\fillinline" alternative, and the name of the 
signatory?

Thanks.


MWE:

\setuppapersize[letter]
\setuplayout[header=0in,footer=0in,topspace=0.75in,height=9.5in,backspace=1.5in,width=5.5in]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[texgyretermes]
\setupbodyfont[roman,12pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex]
\setupwhitespace[big]
