For the UDHR texts, which are very simple in terms of character usage, I
am trying to follow that line fairly rigorously. So I would prefer to
have no U+002D - HYPHEN-MINUS, but either U+2010 ‐ HYPHEN, U+2212 −
MINUS SIGN (unlikely in this text), U+2013 – EN DASH or U+2014 — EM
DASH. Most of the time, it should be U+2010 ‐ HYPHEN. However, the
support in fonts for U+2010 is less than perfect, and some users they
will get a .notdef glyph. I am faced with a dilemma: either follow the
line or make the documents more user-friendly. I already received two
comments in favor of user-friendliness.
Eric.
