             if (c = #32) and Special then begin
               // #194#183 looks like .
               Dest[DestPos-1] := #194;
               Dest[DestPos]   := #183;
               inc(DestPos);
             end;

Is the dot.

just delete the block, with no replacement. (the space is already 
copied, the block overwrites the space)
