I don't see any problem so I am attaching newlat1-16.psfu with new mappings
U+2010, U+2012, U+2013 and U+2212 to U+002d.

If someone wish to play with and change mappings here it is:

$psfgettable lat1-16.psfu > table.txt

Editing table.txt ---> newtable.txt with our preferences and then

$psfaddtable lat1-16.psfu newtable.txt newlat1-16.psfu.

cheers
