             Bug #: 54685
           Summary: Add non-break space between numbers and units in
                    French
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.6.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: nalimi...@club.fr


Bug 41015 added non-break spaces before percent signs in French. This is great,
but I noticed it would be useful to insert it in more cases: we need non-break
spaces between numbers and units (currency signs and unit abbreviations).

For currency signs, they can be detected from the Unicode spec. A list is
available at http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20A0.pdf. For example, in libICU,
the type U_CURRENCY_SYMBOL identifies them.

For unit abbreviations, Wikipedia has a quite complete list for French at
http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Annexe:Unit%C3%A9s_de_mesure_en_fran%C3%A7ais
We may also include only the handful of most common units, if that's easier and
less error-prone.
