Hello!

Why is fontinst creating for monospaced fonts an endash like '--' and 
an emdash like '---'? Why aren't the dash forms of the font supported? 
For example:

N endash ;             B 117 195 469 254 ; => 352
N figure_dash ;        B  73 195 513 254 ; => 440
N hyphen ;             B  73 195 513 254 ; => 440
N soft_hyphen ;        B  73 195 513 254 ; => 440
N emdash ;             B  29 195 557 254 ; => 528
N quotation_dash ;     B  29 195 557 254 ; => 528
