Glissando minimum width?

Hope this is a quick one -- I have a glissando from a 16th note to a dotted eighth (happens a few times in the piece). The horizontal spacing between these two notes is so tight that the glissando symbol becomes just a dot. I had already specified a minimum-length for hairpins, and hoped that
