I am interested in such a script, as I have been putting thin spaces by hand in certain
documents
to get a more professional look
Now I dit test : thin space _IS non-breaking_ in Scribus, so it is useful.
I join a test file to illustrate the strange thing I noticed:
1. The thin space *is not accessible from the Insert Spaces and Breaks Menu* in text using
fonts like Times, Arial, Liberation...
Which seems to suggest that this character is missing in these fonts.
2. On the other hand, it is *present for DejaVu fonts*.
3. Now comes the strange thing
If I do this
* insert thin spaces through the menu on a text formatted with DejaVu
* change the font (by style or hardformatting) to one of these previous fonts
then the thin space stays there and works fine even with Liberation, Arial,
Times...
(And I checked it on the xml text of the sla file).
One more note:
I remember having seen a script to add non-breaking spaces in French.
I do not see it in my present installation, maybe it was with a previous
version.
It would be easy to change it into using thin spaces...
Sincerely
Silvain

I can't answer your question because I don't know but I would like to mention
that such thin spaces would need to be nonbreaking to be really useful. This
is sorely missing in Scribus for us French language users.
Cheers,
