Thanks for the macro! It's almost perfect. . . . I thought I was
imagining things, but the distance between the last letter of the word
and the first dot actually seems to be dependent on the parameter
"\periodswidth{.3em}". See the attached example.
I changed it to "\periodswidth{.4em}" and then the distance is
larger with \fourdots than with \ldots . The distance \ldots
produces is the same as a raw period produces. If possible,
I'd like the distance to be always the same as the one
a raw period produces.
By the way, I'm wondering where one should store personal macro files.
With LaTeX (texlive-latex), ~/texmf/tex/latex/ seems to be the default
place. Is ~/texmf/tex/context/ a recommended place?
