Description

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. create score
  2. set notation font to Emmentaler (MScore) in style settings
  3. insert pedal marking with ped symbol

Expected: Pedal should appear as Ped., with dot
Actual: Pedal marking has dot missing (Ped)

Supporting files, videos and screenshots
The score shown in the figures is the incipit of the Introduction from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, arranged for piano.

This is how it currently looks with Emmentaler:

This is how it looks if you add a period after the close of the <sym> tag in the label for the pedal line. The dot appears too thin because it is a text period, and also, the start of the line is indented slightly more: (I only added the period to the second and fourth bars, for comparison purposes)

This is how it looks with the notation font changed to Leland (the dot is thicker, which is what I want, and the marking is indented the same):

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating a score, selecting Emmentaler (MScore) in style settings, and inserting a pedal marking with the ped symbol. Trace the pedal-marking rendering and Emmentaler glyph definitions; done means the marking displays a correctly weighted dot as “Ped.” with the same indentation shown for Leland.
