Viewing the attached PDF file with gs-esp (either directly or via gv), the hyphen is overprinted by the following 'a'. The file displays correctly with xpdf or Acrobat Reader. This is an old bug which was fix but for some reasons never made it to GPL GS and hence ESP GS. See <URL:http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517474> and 
<URL:http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-code-review/2002-February/002030.html>.
The attached patch solves this for me.
