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!
Thanks for the clarification. I understand the difference between mono and
proportionally spaced fonts but am curious where Andrew's comments"...majority of Mac

Page numbers stay where put if you use the placement attribute to place
them at 'top of page' or 'bottom of page' without having them offset
