What causes the 'dash' not to show up in a the title of a post? All my titles such as my headline and sub-headlines on my posts have dashes in them however they are not showing up in the post. Any idea why?

Example...

The Indoor Air Pollution Myth - Is your indoor Air Toxic?

However this headline is displaying like this...

The Indoor Air Pollution Myth Is your indoor Air Toxic?

No dash. Any idea why and how I can fix this?

Hey,
try to use a html entity instead of the dash symbol (a list can be found here): http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html

I.e. instead of – use: & ndash; or & #8211; or & #x2013; (without space between & and the other characters).

Thanks I did try these and they don't work. It appears something is just removing them as when I reload the page the dash is there for a split second but then is removed. Is there anything in the theme that could be causing this?

Oh - in this case it sounds like your cufon font doesn't support dashes. Try to use another font instead. The font itself doesn't support the character (it's not a limitation of cufon or our theme but the font creator just didn't add the dash to the font characters).
