Is there any easy way, maybe using NSGlyphInfoAttributeName, to
have a glyph not be drawn at all? Like maybe replacing it with some
kind of empty glyph?
You might read this post (and Aki's followup):

The link for source code still seems to be working.
Thanks Martin,
You know, that's the post I found a few months ago. Something is
wrong with the linked file, of three compression program, one was able
to decompress it but the result contained no source code.
I should point out that I want to hide characters in a text view
that do not cause any advancement: diacriticals and such.
Since that's the case, and your text isn't editable, it might be
simplest to add a color attribute that matches the background color
(eg: white) to all these characters. Certainly that would be easier
than messing with the typesetter.

Your idea is cleverly simple. It just might work. It might act
funny if the text is selectable though, I'll give it a try. I may also
end up doing what some others have suggested and replace the marks
with a zero width space. That's not ideal for my program, but it might
be easiest.
Thanks everyone,
Philip
