bug#12292: 24.1.50; display of horizontal ellipsis on Mac OSX looks like midline horizontal ellipsis

[Alex Schröder]

I'll be happy to test some more fonts. Do you agree that M-x set-frame-font is an adequate mechanism to switch fonts? If so, here's what I've tried just now:

-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

-apple-Andale_Mono-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
-apple-Futura-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1
-apple-Arial-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1
-apple-Courier-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

-apple-Palatino-medium-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1ITC_Eras-medium-italic-normal-*-*-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1

Same problem.

Starting up TextEdit, copying and pasting the characters, and using Command-T to switch fonts around, I see no problem using the following:

Andale Mono
Arial
Courier
Courier New
Palatino

So yes, I'm fairly sure that something is wrong with Emacs.

Are you sure this isn't just how the fonts render that character?
