Hmm. That's interesting. This font claims to be ISO8859-1 and 0xa0 is definitely not a nbsp. I ran xfd on it and it displays as an

This is just a guess because I haven't seen the code, but Pango may be handling known spaces in a special way.
Is this a freely available font that we might look at? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Leisher Computing Research Lab The fury with which untenable beliefs New Mexico State University are defended is inversely proportional Box 30001, Dept. 3CRL to their defensibility.
