I added simple non-breaking space due to a variety of display problems
for different apps.
In fact, it's even more complicated since there are thin non-breaking
space and normal-sized breaking spaces in French typography, and some
chars are not present in certain unicode versions IIRC (+ a couple of
various Windows bugs as well).
