Thanks, works now, although it was a little more difficult to install
than usual, for unknown reason.
I'm not an expert for fonts, so all I say here is by hearsay or simply guessing.

That said, regarding the images you provided the printed '-sign is not
the same in LilyPond and in LibreOffice.
I seem to remember somebody explained that text-typesetting programs
sometimes use a similiar font if a sign is not available.

Similar for bold, italic, bold-italic: if the font doesn't contain
them the program scales it.

In LibreOffice doing bold and font-size 60 prints ugly as well with Escolar2.

So I think the font itself is buggy.



Sorry to be of not more help,
