The problem with an approach like \math{\text{-}} is that it switches
the font back to the text font and does not use the math font.  I.e, I'm
trying to get the true hyphen symbol set in whatever font is currently
defined for math mode.

[NTG-context] Using hyphen in math mode

Unicode minus 0x2212.  It would also be workable if I could select the
