Created attachment 140878 [details] LO ubuntu sample
Can you give an example how it should looks like?
Underlining in LO is a synthetic calculated generically from the font height reported by font metric. Underline position is _not_ extracted from the font metrics where a conscientious font designer can specify where underlining should be applied. The strike through of descenders are annoying, as are variable positioning and widths when multiple fonts are used in an underlined sentence, refactoring would be needed to improve this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 68573 ***
Created attachment 140892 [details] display diff between LO and Wordpad Hummmmmmm.... wordpad is able to "unhide" bottoms pixels of letters which can cause troubles.. LO can do that too by knowing position of well-known and used fonts no ?

But in general typography would be better to be able to manually assign "position" the underline, or to read the underline "recommendation" from each of the fonts in the selected text/paragraph and apply the greatest of them as underline. And stroke weight would need to be handled. But any discussion belongs on the dupe bug 68573
