Con In the regular font width, en dash is indistinguishable from a hyphen; em dash is too similar also
Hyphens are especially wide for the available character width of this monospace font, which makes them easy to see, but if you ever need to distinguish between a hyphen (small dash) and an en dash (medium dash), you'll need to check the text in a different font, or in one of the Inconsolata variable font widths other than "regular." Also, em dash (long dash) is only slightly wider than the hyphen in the regular font width; other widths do a better job of distinguishing dash lengths (e.g. SemiCondensed, SemiExpanded, and Expanded).
Maybe a future version of the regular font width will do better at distinguishing between hyphen, en dash, and em dash, to further solidify the font's otherwise very distinguishable character set.
