I'm in the middle of working on a digitisation project of some German texts and I've noticed that the double hyphen glyph (U+2E17) is not included in the Free Fonts. Would it be possible to add such a glyph?
The double hyphen is similar to an equals sign, basically two hyphens above each other. In order to distinguish it from an equals sign, it is often slanted upwards to the right. Wikipedia has a page on it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_hyphen
It could probably be added quite quickly for someone familiar with font tools (unfortunately, I'm not) by copying the equal sign then shearing the glyph slightly upwards to the right.
Kind thanks,
