I don't see it as a big enough need to worry about it. I have 1,000s of releases...and can't think of any in my collection that would need it.

As you mentioned in your post in the other thread it shouldn't take a priority, but if the overview is to be exactly as written, this would help. There's already bold and italics, so why not.

Don't forget then AR, that we need to be able to adjust the font size of the letters too so that they can match the back cover better: particularly being able to make the first letter in the first paragraph two or three times larger than the rest 


Certainly not high on a priority list (like Pete said, I don't think that I have any profiles with them,) but still, might as well have it available.

Agreed.  It'd be nice to have but not a big deal.  At first thought I'd also say color, but that would open a can of worms since quite a few covers are while on a darker background, imagine the 'discussion' that would ensue over that!

if people want to see the exact format of the lettering they can look at the cover.

Of course, but the same argument can be said about the bold or italic words in the overview and we can do them.

I think he was probably talking about my colors comments, which was more of thinking out loud than a suggestion.  I agree with him in respect to that, but if adding an underline is as easy as it first appears I don't see why it shouldn't be added.

if we did colour - just imagine the changes done becasuse people have differently configured screens...

It could also apply to bold or italic - what actual value does this give above that of having the plain text (which is there so people can search it)? I just can't see how it's better than having the cover visible.

[this is just thinking out aloud - it doesn't require a response]

Yes it can, I just did a complete contribution to update a pre-release useless one done last year and never touch again (surprise, surprise...) last weekend and the only voter cast a no saying it was italic wich is clearly wasn't. So to make a long story short, a complete audited contribution was remove (I don't want denied contribution in my history log) because of something trivial like this... Sad for those who will get the dvd and get a useless pre-release profile.
