Was a space missing in the Indic fonts? Is there a requirement
in some standard that a font must have a space?

The upstream author of OldHungarian.ttf is reluctant to add
a space, see:

He created two different fonts now, one with a space and one without.
This is quite ugly and confusing I think. Therefore, if fonts are not
required to have a space by some standard, this probably should be
fixed in Pango.

A similar problem recently occured for Andreas Schneider
<[email protected]> without using OldHungarian.ttf but some other fonts
on a default installation of Fedora.  So this may happen in some
circumstances even on a default installation of Fedora.

Is en.orth relevant if a line rendered by pango-view contains only
Old Hungarian for example?
