Ok, I thought that the reason might be some "alternative text"-feature which was used by one application but not by the other.

Thanks.

Hi,

if I input an ellipsis via the unicode symbol (…=u2026) or via \dots I
get in both variants a pdf in which I can select the three dots only as
a whole. If I copy them to the editor (gedit), I get different results
depending on whether I copy from acroread or from evince. (I use ubuntu
10.10):

acroread: The editor shows an ellipsis.
evince: The editor shows three normal dots.

Why is that? I would like it, that the symbol is always copy-pasted as
an ellipsis.

That would seem, in all fairness, to be a question to aim
solely at the authors of Evince, since both the XeTeX and
the Adobe side of things seems to be behaving perfectly.
