Maybe this will inspire someone else to propose some easier solution, for example figureing out a way to make such constructs work: \definefontcharacter 23 {\vrule width.5em} :) :) :)
ah, interesting trick ... well, just change the encoding vector (enc file) and remap hyphen to something else then
The main question being: does something else (suitable enough) exist in the font? The width probably needs to be the same, but I'm thinking about a way to circumvent that. If you're using hz (or if you start using hz), it might be possible to adjust hanging of hyphen, so maybe it's possible to compensate different width of some blackbox character in the font with different hanging.
