Hyphen glyph: double dash intentional? #27

Thanks for the beautiful Andada font, being a libre font!

I have noticed that the Hyphen (U+2010) glyph has 2 dashes (or a dash with break in the middle), which looks different from Hyphen-Minus (U+002D) and Soft-Hypehn (U+00AD), see attached screenshot.

Is this design intentional? Otherwise it doesn't look good when words are hyphenated (see screenshot).

Hi, there are three hyphens, the soft hyphen is the same as a hyphen and there is also hyphentwo which is the hyphen that you show in the second image. Which keyboard language distribution are you using?

Thank you for checking.

These hyphen characters were not manually input via keyboard; but a web page with automatic hyphenationn, displayed by Google Chromium browser. Now that I checked again, to my surprise, only Chrome/Chromium shows the hyphentwo — Firefox displays proper (single) hyphen!

You may check this page: https://rajeesh.cc/home.html on Chrome, enable Developer Tools, select first paragraph using the pointer tool; and change font-family to "Andada Pro" in the .post-content block (assuming you have the font locally installed).

Thanks for the issue, if this is a problem related to how Chromium, I will close the issue. If you find something else feel free to reopen it.

Hi. I would like to report that I also am encountering the same issue (double hyphen in automatic hyphenation) in the layout application Affinity Publisher on Mac. This is the only font I can find that does this. If I change the text to, for example, Alegreya or Bitter, the automatic hyphenation uses a single hyphen as expected.
