Correction of errors and clarifications!

(Et character)#8211; is ''–'' Unicode 'EN DASH' U+2013 (written as HTML Entity (decimal)(not to be confused with EM DASH)
There are lots (dozens) of encodings/notations for something simple??? as an EN DASH.

Private word!
Spoiler:
Allow me a private word: At the moment I live in a world (Spain, Jaen province) where it is all about one thing: OLIVES! ... their oil content, harvest yields and achievable prices. Thousands of poor labor migrants (Africa & East Europe) beat the olives from the trees and gather them together. Most likely, none of them will ever know anything more about an 'EN DASH' except the pure knowledge of the existence of such a sign, possibly not even that. - - - No wonder no one can understand the world anymore, and if only as a specialist idiot.

The line height of some characters is more than twice the pure character. This can be tested: See mouse-click line. This is partly and apparently due to the notation in boxes. It is also noteworthy that the mouse-click line at  is bold and still longer (poor English, I know).

different line heights (via C&P from gedit text editor to here)

Why in the above (#1) shown paragraph (and in many others) the line heights changes (suddenly, without a recognizable reason), yet I got no explanation. However, I can tell that since yesterday evening all line heights reduced to 'normal'. For why!? Don't ask me.

If I find out, I report.
