Hi, I've just installed 4.3.0.4 from the website (32 bit running under Linux Mint 17) and the hyphen prints after the letter, as it should, and not above. (If it makes any difference my printer is a Canon MP240.) What I do find a tad strange though is that there is a noticeable gap of about 1mm between the letter and the hyphen (using an 11pt font), which really should not be there. I printed the same text from version 4.2.5.2 with the same result. Is there a setting somewhere which sets the spacing between the hyphen and the letter? I could not find anything on this in the help file, but as yet have not looked elsewhere. Looking through my library (I have books from, amongst other countries, UK, US, France, Germany, Italy and Slovakia) I would deduce that it is standard practice to have virtually no gap between the hyphen and the preceding letter. Personally this does not worry me as I do not usually use hyphenation, but I guess it might upset purists.
