No. But you can make … an active character which either uses a  
different font to type this character or is bound to a macro which  
inserts three small . with a lot of kerning between them. Here are  
examples for € which can be rewritten for ….


	\newfontfamily{\official_EUR_font}{GFS Neohellenic}
	\newcommand{\euro}{{\official_EUR_font\upshape\textmd{€}Œš}}

	\newfontfamily{\official_EUR_font}{GFS Neohellenic-Regular}
	\catcode"20AC=\active
	\def€{{\official_EUR_font\char"20AC}}
