For page three, the spacing looks normal (something like >"- iii -"). Has .cs mode gotten accidentally set? Typically a constant spacing font is mounted in position 3, same as bold. Force a reset in the .TY macro, which is the user exit for TC, and prints "CONTENTS" at the top of the ToC: .am TY .ev 2 .cs 3 .ev ..
