It says that U+200B normally has no effect on letter spacing in most scripts, but only indicates a word boundary (and therefore a possible line break). It also mentions that when letter-spacing Thai it may grow to have a non-zero width, but that is the exception. (Thai apparently doesn't put spaces between words, and uses U+200B as a word separator.) -- Peter S. Housel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
