I tested commands (babel shorthand that uses '--' and custom command that uses '–', unicode en dash) on several fonts. The result strongly depends on used font. So my adivce: use unicode em dash (of course this would break Russian typography rules). If your publisher insist to follow the rule he/she should recommend what font to use and you have to define your own command for em/en dashes. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
