If this line is intended to always be solid (pardon my total ignorance
of mm), then this is clearly the right solution.  Font embedding may
help for this specific situation, but any mm author might choose a
font where the em dash has the side bearings Deri speaks of in
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66342#comment4, so the dash should not
be relied upon to create a solid line.

Alexis, are you willing to open a bug report in our tracker
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff&func=additem) and attach
your patch?  You can do this without creating an account, though
creating one lets the system automatically email you whenever the
ticket is updated.
