You won't get dots until I get the patch pushed into a distribution.  It
will take a couple of weeks before you can get the dots.  I had to change
some C++ code in order to make a dash of dash-fraction zero become a dot.

So unfortunately, you will need to wait a couple of weeks before it gets
into a release.

Thanks,
