... the section about "Shape of .notdef glyph"
Thanks for pointing a Microsoft recommandation for the undefined glyph
(glyph id=0) that every TT font should implement (so this would affect also
OT fonts).
But there are several fonts in Windows and Office that still display a
normal question mark for this glyph ID, instead of a narrow white box as
expected (this may be a caveat within the system compatibility font mappings
with system fonts which are not TrueType but simple .FON bitmap fonts)...
This is probably because Windows is first mapping your Unicode text on
to a system code page. The normal behaviour with characters which don't
have a compatibility type mapping is to map them to "?".
