--- Comment #12 from stfhell <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #10) > Using the Unicode > fixed-width spaces for manual justifying in digital typesetting would be > awkward and anachronistic. I consider a good support for Unicode spaces as something essential for a word processor with advanced layout capabilities. Software like Word or LibreOffice and even InDesign is in many respects "anachronistic" in your sense of the word (typewriter-like or lead-typesetting-like), there is no other way to define the spacing you want but in the form of glyphs. With XSL transformations of XML documents (or TeX) you can have a stylesheet (instead of the document) define the spaces in a template, thus achieving a uniform handling of for example thin spaces around « Bonjour! » - but even then you need to define the spaces as Unicode characters in the template. You just needn't encode them in your document. With word processors (and DTP software), you have to set all the spaces yourself in the document text. It is somewhat anachronistic and very error-prone typesetting - but a straightforward and simple concept for users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
