Hi, I have two problems in the Hebrew font I’m working on.
In my font, I defined the SPACE glyph to be a dot.
The space character should be empty but requires an advance width, which defines the space between words.
Like all characters, the space character is defined in the Unicode database. It is mapped to codepoint 32 (hexadecimal 0x20). The glyph with this codepoint is the space character.
The ‘standard’ space character at $20 is inserted automatically by many programs where the program designer thought it appropriate. If it isn’t blank then the glyph will appear.
There are a variety of other spaces of various widths in the ‘General Punctuation’ block at $2000 to $200A but these should also be blank. You could use these and although it is less likely to have unintended consequences there may still be problems.
Hi, thank you for the quick reply.
I’m working on a font based on ancient scribe which instead of empty space uses special dots between the words. Therefore, I had to insert that specific dot in the glyph (and it works well). The problem is that the SPACE character appears automatically, although I do not type it. This occurs in Word when I break line (Enter) or when I change the default font to this new one. This problem does not appear in PowerPoint or Notepad, just in Word.
As an example in the image attached – the dots separate the words as I wanted (green dots), but appears on its own when I break line (red dots).
How can I fix it?
Thanks,
Einat
Do you have any glyph for character nobreak space (A0)?
No.
I tried to add it, but it didn’t change anything, so I took it down.
