Title:
Expansion: Thin space (U+2006) and narrow no-break space (U+202F)
Status in Ubuntu Font Family:
New
Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
By typographic convention, a thin spaced is used in some special
cases, for instance, as a thousands separator, or, in French, as a
guillemets separator, or, in German, in abbreviated phrases such as
«z. B.». Since the Ubuntu font does not feature a thin space,
applications will use replacement thin spaces from other fonts. In the
worst of cases, these replacements are no thinner than Ubuntu's
regular space.
Proposed solution: Assign U+2006 THIN SPACE and U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK
SPACE to a glyph that has half the width of the regular space
character (U+0020). Probably not in Ubuntu Mono.
