People who ask this usually have a groff input that uses '-' both
to designate a hyphen (between English words) and a minus sign (such
as in formulas or in command-line options). But a hyphens looks nicer
when it is thin; \[u2012] achieves this. What you really want to do
is to change your groff input so that it uses
* - for hyphens,
* \- for minus signs.
Example:
\fBiconv \-f ISO\-8859\-1 \-t UTF\-8\fP
converts input from the old West-European encoding ISO\-8859\-1 to Unicode.

AFAIU, this will have the effect that hyphens at the end of a line will
look like a minus sign, that is, ugly.
