This depends on the syntax-table settings.

Please don't change the syntax of ?- in the main syntax-table, but only in
the syntax-table used during font-locking:

  Take a look at the place where font-lock-defaults is set.
  Then look at the docstring of font-lock-defaults.
  Then locate the SYNTAX-ALIST element and set it so that the character ?-
  has syntax "w".
