Hi,
\filename tends to get too much letterspacing; can I change that?
\tex has strange hyphenation, seems to break whereever; can I change that?

If that’s not enough, I’m using \letterspacing with tiny ± values.

- It should always start on an odd page.
- Its text should be in a larger size than the text of the body, set in

- Most importantly, the title of the heading should appear on its own
