Is there an easy way to change characters from the extended ascii set to characters roku can display as standard text?
ie

Citro�n Berlingo Multispace � Pagani Zonda � Lamborghini Murci�lago � Mazda6 Speed Cameras Harry Enfield

FFFD to say, a standard "e" and FFFD to a "." or something to handle every noncompatible character automatically without requiring a separate executed line for each character possibility? I'm looking for an easier solution - like to take the character value and if it's >128 then subtract some value from it to get a standardized alphanumeric character?

U+FFFD is already a "replacement character" which means whatever was there has been busted already by previous "conversion", it's displayed to indicate there *was* unpresentable character here.

Assuming is there generic solution to replace unicode symbols that have no presentation in particular font - no, since you don't know which characters are implemented in each TTF, nor is it clear what you (the author) would consider reasonable substitution. For example is it reasonable to replace "™" with "(TM)" and "©" with "(C)"? Maybe yes, maybe no because it may change the text alignment.
