559.0. "Unwanted space preceding <math_char>" by AITG::BODGE (Andy Bodge, LISP Documentation) Thu Jun 25 1987 18:05

    I need to get a bullet character inside parentheses, like this:
    
       (o)
    
    But no matter what I do, I get the typeset equivalent of:
    
       ( o)
    
    Topic 480 in the old notesfile suggests using <math>:
    
       (<math>(<math_char>(BULLET)))
    
    That fixed a BL6 problem in which extra space appeared after a
    <math_char>.  That problem doesn't exist anymore, but we still get
    the gratuitous space before the <math_char>.  I suppose I could
    use:
    
       (<math_char>(BULLET) )
    
    to even out the space, but that would be subject to line breaking.

    For T1.0, do we just edit the .TEX file, then?

    If you need to, that is unfortunately the only way in T1.0
