To clarify, this font DOES have the right kind of hyphen glyph but InDesign isn’t using it — it’s choosing to use the minus sign glyph instead.

I can do a GLYPH search for the minus signs and replace them with the correct glyph for a hyphen. But this does not work for the automatically generated hyphens, those that break a word at the end of a line.

I discovered that if I uncheck the use of Open Type fractions in this paragraph style, I get the normal hyphen. I have no idea why.
