underline_position

Since: Version 20221119-145034-49b9839f

The functionality described in this section requires version 20221119-145034-49b9839f of wezterm, or a more recent version.

If specified, overrides the position of underlines.

The default is to use the underline position metric specified by the designer of the primary font.

This config option accepts different units that have slightly different interpretations:

  • 2, 2.0 or "2px" all specify a position of 2 pixels
  • "2pt" specifies a position of 2 points, which scales according to the DPI of the window
  • "200%" takes the font-specified underline_position and multiplies it by 2
  • "0.1cell" takes the cell height, scales it by 0.1 and uses that as the position

Note that the underline_position is often a small negative number like -2 or -4 and specifies an offset from the baseline of the font.
