W3m displays on this site the hyphen (Bindestrich in German, which AFAIU is inserted with the hyphen (-) on the keyboard) longer then the dash (Gedankenstrich in German, used also when omitting text) but it should be the other way around (As e.g. Firefox does correctly). > > endash is short =E2=80=93, emdash is longer: =E2=80=94, an average dash i= s this: -. For me under Gnus endash looks the shortest, emdash and the average dash the same. Would you please tell us how you input these characters? I only know of this iso-accents-mode for iso-latin-1 for inserting some non-ascii characters, but the mode is supposed to be obsolete because of some input methods I don't have any clue. --=20 Best wishes H.
