Ahoi Hans!

While checking a book after installing the latest beta I recognized again that \dots{} does the wrong.

The stops are taken from the *math* font, and that looks very ugly if there's no fitting math font for some text where I don't need any maths. (My text ist in ITC Berkeley, that has very tiny punctuations; CM or TX have rather fat dots.)
I'd suggest to take the stops simply from the active text font -- or use the ellipsis character if the font has one.

On the subject of spacing: The dots are too wide spread; Acrobat shows 1000 units, I'd suggest about 750 -- and about 500 before the first dot.

Or did I misunderstand the whole thing, that I should use some other command for an ellipsis in text mode?
