Thanks, Mike, for your efforts. Here is feedback:
In Firefox, I can see the underscores of the g's in all fonts in all three columns of follow-up post, and also for the four g's in your original post.
Most of the time, I run IE8 (with windows XP). In that browser, I see no underscore on the original four g's. In your follow-up post, 15 fonts (Arial, Baskerville Old Face, Bookman, Bookman Old Face, Century, Century Gothic, Century Schoolbook, Courier New, Garamond, Palatino, Rockwell, Times, Times New Roman and Verdana) display a series of four regular g's each with a square after it (or small thick plusses in the case of Courier); 4 fonts (Calibri, Cambria, Consolas, Palatino Linotype) display regular g's; and only 1 font (Arial Unicode MS) displays four underlined g's. That is, there are 19 out of 20 failures in the third column.
In the first column, all underlines are visible in both browsers, but none show clear separation. Location ranges from the bottom to the top of the lower g-loop, though at least they are visible.
In the second column, the underlines are all easy to distinguish and in 16 or 17 out of 20 cases there is even clear separation (all but Courier, Palatino Linotype, Rockwell, and maybe Verdana). The second column stands out as the best in both browsers -- perhaps the span-style line could be kept as a readymade copy/paste.
That said, if I'm the only one having trouble viewing four underlined g's consistently in your third column, perhaps updating my browser to IE9 will bring me on board. There is a "No Add-ons" problem that seems to persist, but I should be able to figure it out.
