Hi,
there is some discussion going on in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400237 on how to lay out
the unichar ellipsis for different scripts, and for different localized
versions of OSes. As that bug grows hard to grok, I'm asking some
questions here.
On a regular XP, the ellipsis is rendered similarily to ... (just more
closely spaced). On a Japanese Windows, it's apparently rendered with MS
UI Gothic, which places the dots on the middle of the line vertically.
Now that obviously looks wrong for English text, but I wonder if it's
right in other scripts, in particular, for Japanese. Independent of
other apps using '.''.''.' and thus being on the baseline, the font
might be right for Japanese script. (The bug has a testcase for the
ellipsis in both fonts.)
Are there similar problems for other scripts?
Could this happen to other glyphs?
Axel
