Funky Glyphs or Characters in custom font ellipsized ellipsize TextView
Look like this? http://imgur.com/yHYXI
The issue is that the 'ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+FEFF) character is missing from your font!
I used FontForge (free, etc.) to replace the character with the Droid Sans character. It was a pretty simple process, just find the glyph (it's towards the bottom hint hint), copy from Droid Sans, open the other font, and then paste it in the appropriate spot. Then generate whatever font type you're using.
