Space characters have two different, independent attributes:
1. They can have a fixed width, or they can stretch for line adjustments.

- stretchable unbreak

I don't think "Genuine" is a question. There ain't no such thing.
Just look at your various keyboards.
I have keycaps (unshift ") with straight and a
If my opinion matters in this discussion, then I'm tentatively opposed to
this change. Reasons:
— Folks limited to ASCII environments may be using a screen font with more
