--- Comment #3 from Olivier R. <[email protected]> ---
OK, let’s try to be clear. This is a usability issue.

Jean-Baptiste, does it sound logical to you that in order to write in French,
you have to disable the option specifically dedicated to the French language?

Actually, it’s not necessary, as with the Graphite font you can write in French
without having to add yourself these non-breaking spaces. The Graphite font
will do that for you within the punctuation characters.

So what the issue really is:

1. People don’t know it.
2. When we set this font to a text, this issue makes think that this is a bug
from LibreOffice or the font itself.
3. By default, LibreOffice adds theses non-breaking spaces for the texts set to
the French language.

So, by default, at least, the text should look correct whatever we want to do
with the Graphite font.

And disable the French spaces option is *not* the solution because this kind of
font is specifically made, among other things, to handle the way we use spaces
in our texts.

By the way, I think the non-Graphite versions of these fonts should be included
by default in LO, as people might not want to bother with these very specific
typographical issues.
