You're right. I know I found this to be true in the past, but it
clearly isn't now. In light of this, what I would recommend is
changing the point size of the en-dash so it is the same length as
the hyphen, or borrowing the en-dash from another font where it is
shorter. I *know* this works!
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

The majority of Mac fonts have no true en-dash. Rather, the en-dash
character (option-hyphen) is identical in appearance to the hyphen
and is in fact a hard hyphen. If you need hard hyphens in a piece,
just choose a font with no true en-dash. They are numerous!
