And are those web sites specifying a particular font?

Have you tried this on another device? Maybe it's something about the
site(s). If it's only certain web sites, you could share and maybe
someone else running CentOS-7 (I'm not) could try to reproduce.

Have you tried cut-n-pasting the text to see if it shows up as a - or a
9 in another program? Consider trying programs that support HTML paste,
like Libre Office, and those that don't, like ed/vi/emacs in an xterm.
