Thanks for the clarification.  So should the paragraph macro be used
to typeset *all* text if you want proper kerning, even if it's just a
couple of words?  I noticed this issue when I was setting a header
line, and I used hbox, because a single line of a few words of text
didn't seem like a paragraph to me.  Or is there some other macro to
use in that situation?

Best wishes,
