This is news to me. Actually I have talked with several typesetters that are baffled 
by your statement. So could you please give us an example of one of the numerous fonts 
(preferably Adobe fonts)?

My en-dashes are then length of an "n" as it should be and are not "identical in 
appearance to the hyphen."

What am I missing?

Thank you,
Steve Fiskum
