Not to be picky, but (OK. I am being picky. But you brought it up in the first place :) your en-dash and your em-dash are identical.
Continuing the nit-picking â with my screen/font there's a 2-pixel difference between the en-dash and em-dash. Hyphen and en-dash render identically.
Well, on my screen/font en/em dash are pixelically identical, and hyphen is much shorter. Rendered in ISO 8859-1, en/em look like exactly the same triple of characters, until you look very closely with a large font, and you can sort-of make out the difference between an open-double-quote char (a "66") and a close0double-quote char (a "99").
Odd, because I'm also using Thunderbird 0.6â I guess there must be something else â
Cheers, Carl.
