"Unprintable characters" in dialog box

In the dialog box for Tools->Options->View, there is an item:

        DLG_Options_Label_ViewUnprintable

The English text for this item is (View...) "Unprintable characters".
This seems like a real misnomer because what it really does is control
the secret formating goop, including the crop marks for margins,
glyphs where spaces are displayed, etc. The one thing it doesn't
control is the display of characters with zero-width glyphs in the
current font, which is sort of what it sounds like it does.

I propose we change this to something more meaningful. Perhaps
"Invisible layout marks" or "Invisible formating marks".
