whitespace_glyphs

Font contains glyphs for whitespace characters?

whitespace_glyphs

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

The OpenType specification recommends that fonts should contain glyphs for the following whitespace characters:

• U+0020 SPACE
• U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE

The space character is required for text processing, and the no-break space is useful to prevent line breaks at its position. It is also recommended to have a glyph for the tab character (U+0009) and the soft hyphen (U+00AD), but these are not mandatory.
