After I made this suggestion (below), there was some discussion but no
real conclusion (I think).  So, let me ask/state it this way: If I
don't hear any objections, I'd like to submit a patch in a few days to
change the text to be "Invisible layout marks".

wjc> In the dialog box for Tools->Options->View, there is an item:

wjc>    DLG_Options_Label_ViewUnprintable

wjc> The English text for this item is (View...) "Unprintable characters".
wjc> This seems like a real misnomer because what it really does is control 
wjc> the secret formating goop, including the crop marks for margins,
wjc> glyphs where spaces are displayed, etc.  The one thing it doesn't
wjc> control is the display of characters with zero-width glyphs in the
wjc> current font, which is sort of what it sounds like it does.

wjc> I propose we change this to something more meaningful.  Perhaps
wjc> "Invisible layout marks" or "Invisible formating marks".
