Is this an encoding problem?

Is this an encoding problem?

[Maurí­cio]

Hi,

I'm using the lines below in the start of a book '.tex' file. It
selects the 'gentium' pre-defined typeface, and the file itself
was done using utf8.

However, a few unicode characters desapear or cause small
problems, like these (unicodes between 2012 and 2015):

― (before spoken text)
- (hyphen)

I thought they could be missing from the font, but I have already
used gentium by just loading the font, before I learned about
typefaces. (I did download the font from its site, however,
instead of using that from minimals.)

Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks,
Maurício

They work here both in mkii and mkiv (Thomas - I have a feeling that
naming of book basic in type-gentium and in tfm files is out of sync
for some reason), though I wouldn't be surprised if there were any
problems with the font (we submitted a faulty ttf version to CTAN
once). Does it make any difference if you replace the font in TeX tree
with the font downloaded straight from SIL (and maybe regenerate font
cache for luatex just in case)?

You'll probably need to post a minimal complete example that fails.

Here is md5sum of gentium files. However, I wasn't able to
get those characters with any font. My first tought was that
input could be in something different from utf8, but I can get
the ellipsis from the example below to work.

Here it is. The ellipsis is okay in the output. The
horizontal bars, however, just desapear, although they
do use some space, as the first letters do not stay
aligned with the last line.
