0001372: Fonts have invisible characters

Notes
(0001676 - 670 - 670 - 670 - 670 - 670 - 670) KenCausey 06-23-05 18:10	I tried this in 3.6, 3.8, and 3.9 and I guess I see what you mean in terms of there always being some ASCII characters that have no glyph, generally those that don't normally have a visual representation. Exactly which ones those are vary somewhat from image to image and in some cases some of those characters have a glyph which is an empty box. Are you just suggesting that that should be more consistently the case? That every character have some glyph even if it is just a box or other character representing the fact that character has no visual representation? I don't think you would want that to be true in many cases though, for example: \n, \r, \f, \t, \b.

(0001677 - 415 - 415 - 415 - 415 - 415 - 415) bert 06-23-05 19:19	Yes I'd like to have at least an outlined box for each glyph. Even for those CRs, LFs etc, because normally these are not rendered - the character scanner advances the position instead. It still happens in some circumstances to get a control character into your string, like I pressed enter and got a character of value 3 in the sourcecode and the compiler rightfully complains - but you don't see anything wrong.

(0001712 - 198 - 210 - 210 - 210 - 210 - 210) masm 07-02-05 02:47	Unprintable characters trouble the compiler. Some unprintable characters are not 'seen' as blank spaces and when adjacent to a token, like a selector, they become part of it. This is hard to spot.

(0001713 - 287 - 287 - 287 - 287 - 287 - 287) bert 07-02-05 11:51	masm: That is indeed one of the problems. However, there is one legitimate blank character (char value 160), which is the non-breakable space. Not sure how to deal with that. As it happens, Apple Mail uses that character for indentation, so if I copy code from a Mail it won't compile :(

(0002562 - 184 - 196 - 196 - 292 - 292 - 292) hitoro 08-28-05 12:58	It looks like the issue I reported (0001342). Some glyphs don't have a representation while they should. Check the typographic glyphs; most are gone (“”—–‘’œ…). I really miss them.
