    Thanks for mentioning that. I had completely forgotten that “old” style was a thing. It is odd how some of the periods are larger than the others, as if they were bolded; must be that periods in ellipses (trios of periods) are smaller than periods not in ellipses.

      sorry for not catching that, i don’t use the glasses when using the pc… but closer inspection reveals it uses an ellipse where possible (three dots), which is narrower than the three individual characters it replaces.
