I just looked into font conversion for another project. In EC.enc, you have this line: % LIGKERN hyphen hyphen =: endash ; endash hyphen =: emdash ; so fonts converted by texfont and using --enc=ec should have the dashes enabled automagically. The problem I had was with the f- ligatures, I had to manually add these lines: % LIGKERN f f =: ff ; f i =: fi ; f l =: fl ; % LIGKERN ff f =: fff ; ff i =: ffi ; ff l =: ffl ; In general, texnansi still seems to be doing a better job with this sort of thing. The ligkern instructions are not mentioned explicitly in texnansi.enc, but they are still used, so I assume texfont has them hardwired into its own code somewhere. May be Adam knows more about it?

Hraban, AFAIK, -- and --- aren't active, but they (should) produce ligatures, so the problem is most probably at the level of the tfms you produced. How did you obtain them? By running texfont? Which encoding are you using?
\defaultencoding expands to 'ec' these days (used to be 'texnansi'). Perhaps that is the problem?
