I wonder what confusion is reflected and caused by such a statement. It 
is best ignored.

You want any horizontal bar that is not the underscore? Fine; use the 
Ascii HYPHEN-MINUS "-" then. If it is not suitable, then you _still_ 
haven't told what you want. Do you want just any "dash", then use EM 
DASH or EN DASH? Wait... previously you said it's not the em dash you 
want. What game is this? And your not knowing what you want, or not 
knowing how to specify that as a _character_, is not a _font_ problem.

It depends on what "this" is and what is your problem with displaying 
characters in general.

How does this relate to fonts? If you want help with using a particular 
computer system, try finding a group that discusses it.
