+% Hyphen character:
+% There are two character named "hyphen". The original article explains
+% the background of this decision (if one wanted to use a different
+% hyphenation character and still be able to use the dash). So the first
+% character should serve as "hyphen char" and the other one as "dash" in
+% compound words.  The character 0x2D is supposed to be the hyphen char,
+% but since there used to be two characters of the same name in this
+% file for some time, the tools like afmtotfm have been confused and
+% remapped the hyphen char to 0x7F automatically.  After the second
+% character's name was changed, hyphenation characters in existing
+% tfm fonts (generated with the old ec.enc) have disappeared, so the
+% second character has been renamed back to "hyphen". Anyone generating
+% tfm fonts is strongly encouraged to make a copy of this file, rename
+% it and change glyph names as required for their font.
