Package: texlive-xetex
Version: 2007.dfsg.2-8
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm using xelatex to generate a beamer presentation, and I have a
problem with U+A0 non-break space.
The following example exhibit the problem:
----
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\selectlanguage{francais}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
% unicode non-break space (U+A0) before colon
\par Trouc :
% latex non-break space before colon
\par Trouc~:
% standard space before colon
\par Trouc :
% unicode non-break space (U+A0) between two words
\par Trouc trouc
\end{document}
----
Second and third cases work fine, while first and last don't. It seems
that xetex tries to be smart, knows that in french there should be a
non-break space before the colon and adds it. The problem is that it
adds it *even if it doesn't need to* (first case) and suppress it if it
think there's no need (fourth case).
It's a bit like if it doesn't really recognized U+a0 as a space.
I didn't yet have a chance to try with texlive 2009 so maybe it's fixed.
As a side note, the problem disappears if I don't use the fontspec
package (but then I don't have the accents). So it might be related to
this package or the font selection, I don't really know.
Cheers,

-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
