Interesting. In the context of linebreaking, that comes down to basically the same thing. U+FFFD has linebreak class 'AI' or 'Ambiguous', which is currently also converted to 'Alphabetic' as part of the initial conversions. Are you suggesting that we substitute the codepoint in the actual text content (rather than leave it there, and further rely on the default treatment of 'missing glyphs')? Regards, Andreas ---
