This uses U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER instead of a regular period as the default filler in outline.

U+2024 decomposes to a regular period so this change is not very important. I just think it is more semantically precise.

It affects a CJK test, I'm not sure if this is desirable.

Quoting the Unicode 16.0.0 Core Specification:

However, there are occasional plain text contexts in which a string of leader dots is represented as a sequence of characters. U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER and U+2025 TWO DOT LEADER are intended for such usage.

So it appears using a regular period is more appropriate here. Sorry for the noise.
