See changelog. AFAICS, all GUI toolkits (at least qt5/gtk3/wx/tk)
display the unicode minus properly.

(compare the minus in "x=-...")
Moving the implementation of the replacement to the base Formatter class
is because it is otherwise confusing as to whether
self.fix_minus
does the replacement or not -- one needs to check whether the current
class overrides the do-nothing fix_minus. Instead, one can just have a
base-class implementation that performs the replacement, and not call
self.fix_minus
if the replacement is not desired.For example, LogFormatter.fix_minus used to do nothing; there are tests
that check that. Just don't call fix_minus instead.
