I'm happy to deal with this, but I wonder about the best path. Is it reasonable to assume that we have unicode support available in LaTeX and can just turn it on always, or do we need to (for instance) convert all the Unicode minus signs back into "-" and put the whole thing inside "$ $" (something that I suspect will be tricky in general also). Or, should we just back this minus sign stuff out (again), until we have a good general solution?
BTW -- this change is only on the trunk, which is still expected to have some rough edges. Personally, I'm less concerned about fixing this asap than if it were on the maintenance branch.
