[Koha] Punctuation in personal names

[Bruns, Anke]

Hi everybody,

a library pointed me to a problem with the display of abbreviated personal
first names in 100 and 700 (and possibly others). The final dot in these
fields is chopped in the results' list and detailed record view (OPAC and
Staff Interface).

Thus, a name like Kuthy, A. reads Kuthy, A and Riemann, K.-U. becomes
Riemann, K.-U and Lau, Y.Y. appears as Lau, Y.Y 

(I omitted the full stop in the previous sentence to avoid confusion.)

Whereas it probably makes sense to chop the final punctuation in some cases
in the display of personal names fields, the dot should be displayed for
abbreviated first names.

Have you a hint for me how best to make these dots visible in the results'
list and record view?

Should we add a CSS directive in OPACUserCSS and StaffUserCSS?
Or better add/change the passages for the relevant fields in the xsl files?
Or something else?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Anke
