I agree that this is the likely problem but I ran a test and 
did not get the expected results.  I used 20 different fonts
(bitmapped and PostScript) on an oval, with and without 
font substitution and in only one case did I get any blanking.

This was with a font called Stencil and was a leading blank.

Go figure.
