Hi,
I believe there is a bug with the BIZ UDGothic font, specifically with the '–' character when using a small font size.
The issue was found in version 2.13.3.
I managed to work around the issue by using FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT instead of the default parameters.

Additionally, I was able to reproduce the problem in ftview.exe.

No bug

If necessary, to install the font on windows:
Here are the steps to install the fonts associated with the Japanese language without adding the Japanese language itself to your language preferences:

  1.  Click the Start button.
  2.  In Settings, click System.
  3.  Click Apps & features.
  4.  Click on the link, Manage optional features.
  5.  If "Japanese Supplemental Fonts" is not listed among the installed features, click on the "+" icon next to Add a feature.
  6.  Scroll to find "Japanese Supplemental Fonts". Click on that item, then click on Install.
  7.  Click on the back arrow in the upper corner of the window.
