What about "Enspace (kern 0.5 em)", maybe placed after QQuad, such that
the casual user would choose "Enskip (0.5 em)", which comes first?
The expert user would be informed that this is a kern spacing, so that he
knows that this could also be a vertical space in some circumstances,
whereas a non-expert user would understand that this is something special,
even if he doesn't know in what respect. It is a pity that a tool-tip
cannot be attached to the combobox entries...
