We'd previously subtract one underline-height from the curly line
offset, even though we already had subtracted its complete height.

Additionally, the pixel shader received some fine tuning:

  • Shrink the stroke width so that the anti-aliasing can be seen
    all the way up to the horizontal edges of the bounding box.
  • Add a phase shift to break apart the symmetry of the curve.

Closes #17482

All of these are with the Hack font:

Regarding the last image: The line is actually supposed to be 1px wide (according to the font's underline width). This probably best demonstrates how the previous pixel shader drew the line too "fat".

color = all(cell < backgroundCellCount) ? background[cell] : backgroundColor;
weights = float4(1, 1, 1, 1);
break;
}
case SHADING_TYPE_TEXT_GRAYSCALE:
{
// These are independent of the glyph texture and could be moved to the vertex shader or CPU side of things.
const float4 foreground = premultiplyColor(data.color);

??? did we learn something new about const here?
