On a terminal in ISO-8859-1 locales, lynx outputs a space before

That's the way it is defined in
src/chrtrans/def7_uni.tbl:1554:U+2212: -
(a check of the history shows me it's been that definition at least ten
years ;-)
Ummmm, okay, I see. So this is an intended behavior.
right (it's too long ago for me to determine who made the change though)
It seems a bug of lynx itself (not of a Debian package) so I
forwarded the bug to the upstream.
My impression is that it was chosen to be visually distinct from a plain
"-", but that it could be modified to make it less distinct...
So the intention is to distinguish the minus sign from
the hyphen, am I right? I'm afraid it is difficult to
visually distinguish them on a text terminal.
yes (I agree with that). I'll add this (and a review of that file) to my
to-do list.
