Research direction

Reproduce the ellipsis rendering shown in the screenshots and compare it with the behavior after removing the corresponding characters in FontCreator. The issue names no project file or test, so first locate the font source and any existing ligature-generation or rendering checks; done means the ellipsis no longer causes misalignment without becoming blank.
