I added the following to the 'future' branch of the bug repository. Means that 
we know about the problem until it is fixed


%future
%Antti Kaihola <address@hidden>

\version "2.3.17"

\header {
  texidoc = "
There's blank space in place of the dashes and the titles
mis-align too much to the right.

This is an unfortunate side-effect of the EC fonts of TeX.
The bug will not be fixed before 3.0.
"
  reportedin = "2.3.17"

  title = "Dashes - not - visible - in - title"
  subtitle = "they---also---break---centering"
  subsubtitle = "as you can see"
  composer = "Composer-name-dashes-missing-too"
}

\score { { c d e f \bar "|." } }
