The EM dash glyph is inconsistent with the glyphs of the minus character and the EN dash character: it is thinner and not vertically aligned.

I would expect the thickness to be identical and all three glyphes to be vertically aligned: the only difference should be the length of the stroke.

Tradionally minus, endash and emdash do not share the same thickness. Especially the emdash is usually drawn as a quite thin line. However we strongly consider to bring it into line with the others.

Interesting, I did not know that. I imagine having both thicknesses as alternate glyphes would satisfy everyone. Is vertical misalignment considered normal too?

MarcusSterz commented 3 months ago

It is not a misalignment. When you have 3 lines and one is a lot thinner, where do you align it to? The upper, the middle or the lower line? I chose the latter. But as I wrote we will change this to make it more screen-friendly.

As I said in my original post, I would expect the middle, but I understand there might be reasons to do otherwise. I'm no typography expert :)

You find them modified with the next update :)
