You are on a Mac, correct?

On some operating systems, for instance a Macbook Pro with Retina, the
bottoms of hanging letters such as 'g' or 'y', as well as underscorces,
cannot be seen in IDLE.  The fix is to go to Options -> Configure IDLE,
and change the size of the default font to 9 or 11. 

See if that works.
