U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS #133

Closed davidmjones closed 3 years ago

davidmjones commented 5 years ago

The horizontal ellipsis is spaced too tightly, especially compared to U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.

Please confirm whether this is specific to the Math font, or also the Text fonts. In the latter, we've spaced the ellipsis dots fairly tightly as one of the reasons for a separate ellipsis character — contra simply typing three periods — is to take up less horizontal space and leave less whitespace in the line.

Lets make the change in all of the fonts. The more widely spaced dots work better for mathematical publishing and it would be awkward if there were a mismatch between math and text.
