Hi again,
I have been reading all threads about the French typography in this
mailing list, however the current solution is alas far for perfect. The
command \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] was a good idea, but it
only deals with spacing. French typography rules not only tells us that
there should be a narrow, or a normal space before some punctuation
marks like :, ;, , !, ?, « or », but also that theses spaces must be non
breakable otherwise line breaking could occur just before a punctuation
mark (and this is very bad).
Take a look at the following example:
\section{Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée?}
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\hsize .1mm a? aa? aaa? aaaa?
seems ok here so what version are you using?
