Left picture has correct view: en dashes are used on the y-axis negative numbers.
Right picture is what I usually have: hyphens are used on the y-axis negative numbers.
I need to change this in a purpose for the publication, it`s an important note. I checked already everything and didn`t find any info besides the latex interpreter for the text function.

I am sure that font changing would not be enough, as even if you used a different font, it would be necessary to be able to distinguish between hyphen and en-dash.

ax = gca;
yticklabels(ax, strrep(yticklabels(ax),'--','–'));
set(ax,'ticklabelinterpreter','none') %or 'tex' but not 'latex'
The replacement character is the unicode en-dash character, U+2013
Note: the 'none' interpreter and 'tex' interpreter support unicode, but latex interpreter does not.

Hi Walter,
I have the same problemI want to replace the hyphens with en dashes in a plot. I have the plot ready. I copy the code you provided in my command window but it did not work. Any suggestion.
Thanks
