Subject: M-Dash Spacing & Eth for D-Bar in BT?
It seems the appearance of spaces before colons and before and after M-Dashes is deceptive in most cases, rather a matter of typesetting than punctuation. Should I assume that unless otherwise apparent (as according to normal rules of orthography and punctuation) no space should fall before colons and before and after m-dashes? Often this appearance of what is in most cases a (half-)space is registered on the OCR page as full space.
Also I am assuming that nobody else is using 
for eth in BT, though the character employed is certainly the former.
Cheers,
Matthew
