I think glyph 0 is the "unknown" glyph - usually a rectangle.
glyph 1 is the "null" glyph.

Having said that, the TTCFontReader is making its own blank glyph for
separators.

Which is ok. But...

TTCFontReader>>processCharMap: creates two encodings; the first has 256 entries,
the second 65536.
In the first encoding, it sets the entry for each separator character to the
blank glyph.
But, in the second encoding, it doesn't.

Modifying it so that separators are set to a blank glyph in both encodings fixes
the problem. Fileout is attached.

Cheers,
Andy
