HELP - This sucks. I did replace all my "--" entries with "‐‐" in my SGML code, and the -sections look terrible, since the ‐ is rendered with a font, which is much wider than the mono-spaced font used in the -section. So drxw------ DIR -rwxrwxrwx FILE 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. -- Peter Toft, Ph.D. [pto@sslug.dk] http://www.sslug.dk/~pto Check you back - penguins approaching.....
