Summary0017284: Implement white space review view mode
DescriptionI would like a review mode to make the white space between words more visible.
This can help to find white spaces that are too large more quickly.

I could imagine that this is a new view mode that resizes all text frames equally.

The image below shows what this view mode could look like. I manually simulated it in Scribus by setting a black background color for all words. The view mode could simply render the glyph box instead of the glyphs.

It should be possible to continue editing the contents of a text frame.

needs a shortcut to switch it on and off, as you can't really edit the text (i.e. hyphenation) in this 'black box view'. but with the shortcut i would use it.

well, if it gets a good name, it's not that hard to trigger it with the action search.

... and it's not that hard to add a shortcut either : - )

Patch is ready for testing. I didn't specify a shortcut yet. But if you prefer one, you can define it by yourself in Scribus preferences: "Keyboard Shortcuts -> View -> Toggle White Space Review Mode".
And there is a new button in preview toolbar (the icon is just a placeholder)

At the moment there is a render issue for Japanese glyphs and I don't know what is the reason for it.

I could fix the issue for Japanese characters. Looks like they count as space. I add a second condition and now it works. In addition, I made a new icon and added some missing code in the new patch file.
