Hi folks,
Earlier when using replace.py, ndash (Alt 0150) characters appeared on my display as yellow *-* marks. This was good, I knew that a "-" was "-", and a yellow "-" was – (Alt 0150). And the text was readable. Now these characters appear as yellow "*o*" letters, and this is rather annoying, prevents me of reading text comfortably. Could someone please undo this change? Thank you in advance.

I found the error: The ndash was doubled up among the Thai letters. Quite an old bug - it was a 'sleeping bug' (that is, it was there but without effect) until a change made in January 2009. I have no commit access here, but if I think of it, I will commit a fix this evening.
