Title:
  U+2007 FIGURE SPACE and U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE too wide

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unicode contains the two whitespace characters U+2007 FIGURE SPACE and
  U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE that should be equal in width to a digit and
  a punctuation symbol, respectively.

  In the Ubuntu Font, these are slightly too wide, such that tables
  using them for alignment will be misaligned.

  I am using Ubuntu 14.04, but the problem persists after installing ttf-ubuntu-font-family_0.83-0ubuntu1.
  I can reproduce the problem with LibreOffice, Firefox, and Chromium (test cases attached).
  The test cases also use Droid Sans to show the expected behavior.
