Message-ID: <659F5B73-F231-47E5-86DD-085A42FA127D@bobobeach.com> What's the best way to get a non-sentence-ending period in cl-pdf/cl- typesetting? I'd like to have something like: John Q. Public but when I try to do this, I get something that looks more like: John Q. Public Any ideas?

A non-breaking-space after the period does the trick.
