I'm not sure why you want to hide them only if there isn't a font that covers
them. If you do that, and the user has installed one of the Office X fonts, and
the page specifies that font (Arial is a classic example), those characters
will render. Is that how it works in WinIE and Firefox?

Anyway, you're right that ATSULayoutParameters::initialize() is too early to
hide them (whereas for the fast code path, initializePage() will do). I think
it could be done in the overrideLayoutOperation() callback for both the (a) and
(b) classes of characters. Is there a way to query if a character is in one of
them using ICU?
