Summary0015357: new option to apply unbreakable thin spaces for french typography
DescriptionFrench typographic rules require to use unbreakable fixed width thin spaces before some punctuation marks.

Please provide an option that apply such spaces automaticaly.

Many fonts dont provide the required glyph. As a consequence, a default font should be used when the required glyph doesnt exist. This replacement font could/should be a new parameter.
