Problem

Symptoms: When a customer with an EGA monitor (any brand) selects Underline Font (Shift-F1, 2, 1, 3) and types underlined text, the underline appears as a solid line. When a customer with a VGA monitor (any brand), selects Underline Font (Shift-F1, 2, 1, 3) and types underlined text, the underline displays as broken line. Why doesn't underline on the more expensive hardware look as nice as on the "cheaper" setups? Solutions: The VGA has a nine pixel-wide character cell but only takes eight pixel-wide data. The ninth pixel is blank, causing the gap. This is a hardware limitation.
