Well, this horse is nearly dead, but perhaps a tiny bit more flogging might be
of assistance.
I have done a few more experiments, and strange as it may seem, they kind of
work. If for example you use Pages to write a string containing some well-known

Thanks Richmond, good observe as the Scots say (do you say it? RLS did.)

OK, you've convinced me that in my app I should allow any type of dash to stand

Ha! So the person who wrote the text just **thought** they were minus signs.
The trouble with the en dash (as opposed to the em dash - I used to set type by
