Skip missing font glyphs to 1) avoid using space for missing glyphs and 2) allow merging fonts with overlapping ranges. Demo: Fixed displaying ? instead of greyed out empty box. (#1671, #1703)

CHANGELOG.txt

@@ -64,6 +64,8 @@ Other Changes:
 - DragFloat, SliderFloat: Rounding-on-write uses the provided format string instead of parsing the precision from the string, which allows for finer uses of %e %g etc. (#648, #642)
 - Nav: Fixed hovering a Selectable() with the mouse so that it update the navigation cursor (as it happened in the pre-1.60 navigation branch). (#787)
 - Style: Changed default style.DisplaySafeAreaPadding values from (4,4) to (3,3) so it is smaller than FramePadding and has no effect on main menu bar on a computer. (#1439)
+- Fonts: When building font atlas, glyphs that are missing in the fonts are not using the glyph slot to render a dummy/default glyph. Saves space and allow merging fonts with 
+  overlapping font ranges such as FontAwesome5 which split out the Brands separately from the Solid fonts. (#1703, #1671)
 - Misc: Added IMGUI_CHECKVERSION() macro to compare version string and data structure sizes in order to catch issues with mismatching compilation unit settings. (#1695, #1769)
 - Demo: Fixed Overlay: Added a context menu item to enable freely moving the window. 
 - Examples: Calling IMGUI_CHECKVERSION() in the main.cpp of every example application.
