Hi all, Thanks for the clarifications.

It doesn't change that I still need to manually go through the text, look out for these characters and ensure they aren't drawn at all. My thought process was more like a LF, CR, tab, etc just control layout. They shouldn't have any visible component (unless you have some specialized font). I would have thought fonts would map them to a specific invisible glyph rather than the visible missing glyph symbol. I wasn't sure how this is typically handled and the extra step of 'getting rid' of those characters seemed a bit strange so I just wanted to verify. Preet
