<div>YES. The given font does not seem to support hyphen character.</div>
<div>That is why I tried to redefine defaulthyphenchar, by including it in english language. (with begin and end english). Somehow, this is not working.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In summary, How do I get this hyphen character displayed when I given font does not support it? This should solve my main problem.</div>

<div>If I use these character by swithcing to a different language which has support for these fonts, it does work.</div>
<div>Neverthless, I do not know why such basic characters are not supported by these fonts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for time and suggestions.</div>
