Another approach to this would be to turn off ligatures in the font in use; TeX uses the ligature mechanism to turn "--" into an en-dash and "---" into an em-dash. Depending on what you're doing, you might also want to disable the other ligatures.

A Debian user noticed this also. It seems that JadeTeX, or else the whole TeX backend, needs to replace any inbound '--' pairs with '-{}-'. See <http://bugs.debian.org/45489>. Sebastian, do you know the best way to go about fixing this? - -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
