If you want the underline not to be higher than the border, go for :
a, a:visited, a:active {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid;
}
Excellent! This is what I wanted!

How to make a dotted underlined not all links, and only a few?
You would have to give those links a class, like so:
<a class="dotted" href="http://generatepress.com">GeneratePress</a>
Then your CSS would be:
a.dotted, a.dotted:visited, a.dotted:active {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}
a.dotted:hover {
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid;
}
Yes, that is for links inside a page, where you can specify a class.
You have a visual editor, and the text editor, you can specify a class in the text editor.
