Typographic question: Width of non-breakable-space

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.

    Several of the Bitstream versions of fonts have that issue I would think it is a bitstream issue. Humanist 777 was originally designed by Frutiger  for a third party then Linotype bought it and licensed it, then Frutiger  got the rights back and re released with minor changes as Frutiger

    just for fun see if the non breaking space in Frutiger from adobe is different Corel also have a version that was in corel  5 or x6  extras I think
