Weird? You mean that it slopes? That's simply what the hyphen in Adobe  
Garamond Pro looks like.

The en- and em-dashes are straight/horizontal, and there's also a  
minus sign (U+2212), which is also horizontal, if that's what you were  
expecting. But your example shows the hyphen, which in this font is  
distinctly tilted. That's just how the typeface is designed.
