Switched from English to German. German UI design is very direct…

    oh, my. that third line is horrendous. that’s what happens when the software (in this case, lemmy’s md to html engine) tries to do the rendering instead of the browser. trying to underline using unicode… and failing, instead of just using css.

      Oh man, I just checked what it looks like in Firefox:

      The underline after the first character and ends one character after the last.

      I had written that comment in the Jerboa app (and fiddled with it to make it look reasonable):

      The underline starts and ends in the middle of the first/last character.


      when the software (in this case, lemmy’s md to html engine) tries to do the rendering instead of the browser.

      And nope, in this case I added the Unicode for the underline myself. Well, I used this app. That passes straight through the MD→HTML conversion without being touched.
      And it actually is rendered by the browser, but yeah, by the browser’s Unicode+font rendering, not the CSS engine. Or in case of Jerboa, by Android’s Unicode+font rendering.
      Would certainly be nice, if these would look the same. 🫠
