Hello Soxendom,

within the fb2-making-dialog there ist a dropdown box on the right, where you can choose the type of dashes: short (which is the default), middle and long.
I tried "long" and it worked.

I don't think, that you can change it back automatically. You have to search and replace manually to avoid that all hyphens, including the right ones, convert to em-dashes.
If you have blank-hyphen-blank instead of blank-emdash-blank it would be easier.
