Simple question of the week---does TeX have an intercharacter glue that can be set when TeX is running (i.e., without twiddling TFM files)? This is question is posed primarily for curiosity, as I've seen newspapers that space out characters a little more than normal when there is a bad break in the text. I gather the answer is no, since it's not listed in the index of the TeXbook. julian@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu julian@uhccux.bitnet
