Refer to the dvidrv.eng document file in emTeX.
This contains information about font substitution files.
You will need a /ps (font substitution file) command in your
configuration file (.cnf).
The following line in a font substitution file will replace characters
by a white space.  This is what you want for invisible characters.

i*  ->  * /w  % invisible, white

This will work with all emTeX drivers, so you don't need separate
invisible fonts.  If you are using a non emTeX driver (like me), 
you will probably need to create the invisible pk font files.  
See the mfjob program in emTeX.  I have written a job file to
create the missing SliTeX fonts for hplaser, which has the same
mode def as one I found for imagen, which I believe is also used
for the Apple LaserWriter.  I am currently using emTeX's hplaser 
fonts with dvips and an Apple LaserWriter.
