I am interested in such a script, as I have been putting thin spaces by hand in certain documents to get a more professional look Now I dit test : thin space _IS non-breaking_ in Scribus, so it is useful. I join a test file to illustrate the strange thing I noticed: 1. The thin space *is not accessible from the Insert Spaces and Breaks Menu* in text using fonts like Times, Arial, Liberation... Which seems to suggest that this character is missing in these fonts. 2. On the other hand, it is *present for DejaVu fonts*. 3. Now comes the strange thing If I do this * insert thin spaces through the menu on a text formatted with DejaVu * change the font (by style or hardformatting) to one of these previous fonts then the thin space stays there and works fine even with Liberation, Arial, Times... (And I checked it on the xml text of the sla file). One more note: I remember having seen a script to add non-breaking spaces in French. I do not see it in my present installation, maybe it was with a previous version. It would be easy to change it into using thin spaces...
