Hi, everyone!
Why is the width of the "non-breakable-space" (e. g. ALT+0160) not the same as the width of the normal "space"? I could use the "narrow-non-breakable-space" but it's not available in everey OT-Font (e. g. Humanist777).
I can insert the &nnbsp from Arial in a text box with an other font - works fine. But if I work with styles and edit the style I lose the &nnbsp.
Any idea for me? Thanks for suggestions.
The width of the space and the non-breakable space are probably chosen by the font designer, and may therefore vary from font to font.
The standard space is considered flexible -- eg increased or decreased within a paragraph to effect full justification. But I've just done a quick test and the non-breaking space is not adjusted along with the standard space.
I think that's a bug. In a justified paragraph at least, the non-breaking space needs to take the same value as the standard space. But before I report that, can you give specific examples of any other circumstance where you are seeing different values for the non-breaking space ?
Thank you for your rapid answer.
I did a few tests - you can see them at the enclosed screenshot.
Maybe the bug only exists in Bitstream (BT) fonts???
