Look at: -<br>–<br>— The second dash (–) should be twice as wide as the first dash, but it's rendered like a normal hyphen. The third dash (—) should be four times as wide as the first dash, but it's rendered like an en-dash. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Do you have a font with the en dash and em dash? The transliterator (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/unicharutil/tables/transliterate.properties#44) replaces en-dash by "-" and em-dash by "--". It might be better to use "--" and "----", or "--" and "---".

I'm not entirely sure if my font has an en-dash and em-dash.
From the transliterator document it looks like an em-dash would be rendered as
two separate normal dashes, which is not the case on my system.

Definitively. I'd suggest "--" and "---", because four dashes looks a little
bit too wide (there is some space between the dashes, after all) and I've seen
three dashes more often.

Regenerating transliterate.properties with this change adds lots of lines, including many outside the BMP. Jungshik, do you know if the transliterator will handle these characters correctly, or should I use an older version of UnicodeData.txt for now?
