Bug Description

This bug affects Ubuntu 12.04 and for example gedit in default configuration.

The character U+202F (Narrow no-break space) in Ubuntu Mono font is smaller than other characters. Tables and Ascii-Art are destroyed this way.

Hello Thomas! It would be really useful if you could make a list of any other non-printing codepoints that also need forcing to the standard monospace width (== 500 F-units). This would enabling fixing them all in one pass.

Sorry I don't know how to do this and I do not have the time to find it out.

I can't reproduce this bug. The terminal command

    pango-view --font="Ubuntu Mono 48" --markup --text='<span fallback="false">ABC&#13;A&#x202F;C&#13;ABC</span>'

shows that the non-breaking space &#x202F; in Ubuntu Mono is the same width as any other character. If you have steps to reproduce the problem, please provide them when reopening this report.
