In my installation (2.01 on Mandrake Linux) using Palatino Linotype font if I go to Insert Special Character and use the top right list box to go to "General Punctuation" there are a series of dashes. I ma not sure which, if any, are en or em. There is a similar though smaller group if I choose Times New Roman. Does this help?
