HELP - This sucks.
I did replace all my "--" entries with "‐‐"
in my SGML code, and the <screen>-sections look
terrible, since the ‐ is rendered with a font,
which is much wider than the mono-spaced font used in
the <screen>-section.
So
<screen>
drxw------ DIR
-rwxrwxrwx FILE
</screen>
Looks like
drxw------------ DIR <---cannot show loooong dashes :-)
-rwxrwxrwx FILE
in the PDF - alignment is bad.
AND -rw-r‐‐r‐‐
is actually rendeded as
-rw-r----r----
Yes ‐‐ gives four dashes....
I have a problem, since I have a book to finish next
week and promised the publisher a PDF-file ready to
print.
