Hi Sean,

I'm afraid this bug doesn't seem to be high on the priority list of any of the
committers. This issue both is non-trivial and affects non-trivial code, so
that would require some involvement to fix it.

You might be happy with the following workaround, though: in a pre-processing
step, replace every space character with a non-breaking space (U+00A0) followed
by a zero-width space (U+200B). That will force the line-breaking algorithm to
break after the space and not before.

HTH,
Vincent
