Bug Description
1. At a terminal: pango-view --font="Ubuntu Mono 12" --markup --text='<span fallback="false"> ABC _ __ ___ ____</span>'
Hello,
I would like to propose that the font render underscores in such a way that consecutive underscores have breaks in between them rather than making one long line. That would make it easier to verify at a glance that, for example, a preprocessor macro in C starts with two underscores rather than three. You can estimate that from the length of the line, but it would be easier if it were visible at a glance.
This is mutually exclusive with bug 882348, requesting no space between underscores.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to add that I'm talking about the Monospaced font.
