How Google Docs writes PDFs
- • Download as PDF uses Google Fonts, embedded as subsets.
- • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
- • Text is positioned word by word.
What that means when you underline text
- • Google Docs fonts are open, so any new letter can be set in the exact same font. Invisible line end characters are handled, so edits do not leave stray spaces.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The underline follows the text's colour and position.
- • Underlines move with their words when text reflows.
