        -----------
       -This patch uses the font metrics provided in a TrueType font's `OS/2` table
       -(see [Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/os2)
       -or [Apple](https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6OS2.html) documentation),
       -if available, to determine the character cell height and underline/strike-through thickness and position.
       -This may or may not make the font rendering, particularly block and box-drawing elements, better or worse.
       +This patch uses the font metrics provided in a TrueType font’s `OS/2` table
       +(see the [Microsoft documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/os2)
       +or the [Apple documentation](https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6OS2.html)),
       +when available, to determine the character cell height as well as the thickness
       +and position of underline and strikethrough elements.
        
       -`st` normally uses the descent and ascent heights provided by FreeType,
       -which seems to derive them from `hhea` table values.
       +Depending on the font, this may improve or worsen font rendering, particularly
       +for block and box-drawing characters.
        
       -There is no standard for how monotype font files are supposed to communicate correct metrics to terminal emulators,
       -and actual usage is inconsistent between fonts.
       +By default, `st` uses the ascent and descent values provided by FreeType,
       +which appear to be derived from the `hhea` table.
       +
       +There is no strict standard for how monospaced font files should communicate correct
       +metrics to terminal emulators, and real-world usage is inconsistent across fonts.
