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?
