[BUG] unic-032.tex 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS definition wrong
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/de231c8f10866e1ade625f00d831d359.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
\textellipsis usually expands to \cdots and that's fine, but \textellipsis shouldn't be used in unic-032.tex for 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS, as this codepoint is for a symbol of dots on the base-line, not in the center. I've posted about this previously, but got no response. Anyway, I've attached a patch that fixes the problem. I don't know if using \dots instead is the best solution, though, so further discussion may be necessary?, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

i made it the equivalent of \unknown (better spacing than \dots) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
