[comp.windows.x] text widget question?

pannaiya@NMSU.EDU (01/11/89)

I am trying to read some manual pages using a text widget in the default
font and the problem I am facing is that there are some words that are underlined which is not displayed correctly by the text widget.  

Can somebody tell me how to fix this problem?

ThanXs,

Sure, use the source luke :-)

There is no way to do this without modifying the source to the AsciiSink part
of the Text Widget.  Handling these cases sounds interesting, and if you
would like to provide us with souce code for a sample implementation
we would be happy to evaluate it for possible inclusion in the Athena text
widget.
