Comment 25 for bug 608631

Hi all,

This is a very interesting discussion. I want to give my point of view as an admin of ubuntu-fr-l10n.

If we consider French typographic rules, Nicolas is right. And the use of a thin (or narrow) non-breaking space is more elegant.

For now, I think that it's a bad idea to change nbsp in Launchpad for the following reasons:
* all upstream teams (gnome-fr, kde-francophone, debian-fr, ...) are using nbsp and we need to be consistent with upstream policies
* we have to be sure that nnbsp (U+202F) is correctly rendered in all the user agents (i.e. web browsers, GTK or Qt GUI, TTY, help viewers, ...) whatever the font or the charset used

We need to have a discussion about that with upstream teams. If a consensus emerges to use nnbps instead of nbsp then we could reopen this bug.
