You say that the minus sign check requires “5 – 3” to match, but that does not work on my machine as I get the option to select between an en dash and an em dash, but NOT a true minus sign option. The em dash and true minus sign are very close, but NOT the same (the true minus sign looks to be the same length but has a little more spacing before and after the minus sign and appears to be slightly higher from the baseline than the em dash, which can be seen by dramatically increasing the font size and adding the vertical bars on both sides making it an absolute value).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
