As far as I know, the tiled hyphen wasn't in C. Garamond's original designs (I haven't find it in them yet!), but it is something pertaining more to the Centaur typeface.<br>See: <a href="http://i28.tinypic.com/13z78uo.jpg">http://i28.tinypic.com/13z78uo.jpg</a><br>
<br>But also see the Poliphilius typeface:<br><a href="http://i28.tinypic.com/2h36lfl.jpg">http://i28.tinypic.com/2h36lfl.jpg</a><br><br>I believe this was done in imitation of the copyists' work. See e.g. this beautiful 15th century manuscript of the book I of Ockham's Prologue to the <i>Ordinatio</i>:<br>

I can't find an example, but I'm pretty sure that the tilted dash was<br>
a characteristic of Claude Garamond's work in the 1530s--40s, and was<br>
based on Venetian designs of the century before that, e.g. this one<br>
from 1499:<br>

In other words, your font files are not in error and there is no<br>
problem to be fixed, unless you don't like Garamond.<br>
