RE: UNWANTED CHARACTER SPACING
I've had success using the .is (inline space) command to insert a
1-point space, on  the grounds that  no  one  could  know they're
looking at  a space if it's that small. I used .is p1 to keep two
words and a long dash together. Here's an example.
(Long dash and the fonts were defined elsewhere in the file.)
.bf bold
 Independent cities
.bf med
.is p1
&ldash
.is p1
those cities that are legally separate from any county
.is p1
&ldash
.is p1
are identified by the word "(CITY)" following the city name.
