This looks good. (I get CM Roman instead of LM Roman with your
example but this should not have any influence on - and *.)

I tested again with your example as well as the printable characters from
Unicode Blocks Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement. The result when copying
back into text is:
x−y
and
30 ! ” # $ % & ’
40 ( ) * + , − . / 0 1
50 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ;

So I expect this to be a problem of your PDF Viewer or clipboard or OS.
Could you try with another viewer?
With Postscript instead of PDF?
On a different computer?
Send the PDF as pm?
