I don't think it's the font. I have been trying to produce an em dash
using the latest stable release from contextgarden.net
<http://contextgarden.net/>, with a couple
of different fonts--Alegreya, which is a free OpenType font, Latin
Modern, and one other that I don't remember. In my case, regardless of
the font, \emdash works but --- does not.
Thanks! I can confirm that \emdash works perfectly with the minimal
example I posted.
\startlines
first: –\space —
second: --\space ---
third: \endash \space \emdash
\stoplines
-- and --- are pseudo ligatures that use the tlig feature which is added
to each font automatically but depends to some extent to how the font
has glyphs defined
anyway, using --- is not something recommended
