I'm attaching a picture of a recent book I read that shows the issue. It's not the worst example I've seen, but it does show the problem.

For your example, what would you like to see?

I personally don't care for a lot of hyphens (I wouldn't want to see "-ing"), and I don't think adding space between letters would look any better.
