Let's close it as WF based on comment 2 (if you replace one space by two per
find/replace it has the same effect as scaling to 200%). Plus, readability
comes with the font and we shouldn't compensate for a "creative" kerning.

There exists a CSS property "word-spacing".
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_word-spacing.asp or
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/word-spacing. It exists in
XSL-fo too, but not in ODF. https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#word-spacing

(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #4).

@Regina a bit hackish, but you are right we can use Find & Replace to find all
Spaces--then from the Character dialog scale the selection--just the spaces. 

But looking at Flat ODT result, see a T1 defined with a scale of 300%, and then
every word in the paragraph is broken by a text span holding the space with its
scaling. Also, interesting in that when showing NPC the blue dot for the spaces
are also scaled/stretched, weird. Just not sure that would be functional for
folks in general. Every space baloons into a 46 character , and
breaks up the paragraph. Thanks though! -- Stuart

@V Stuart Foote: You can mark the space and then use Format > Character. Then
use tab "Position". It has the option "Rotation/Scaling" and there "scale
width". I use a reduced width on a non-breaking space between number and unit
to reduce the distance between number and unit.

@Regina, you've stumped me. Nothing obvious in GUI, nor in Expert Configuration
stanzas. So, where is the user control to "scale the width of spaces"?

You can already scale the width of spaces manually. I think any thing beyond
that, is out of scope for an office suite.

--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote  ---
Controlling interword spacing to optimize legibility should be possible, but
would depend on how much dev effort it would need to implement/refactor.

Otherwise isn't this out of scope for an office suite, trending deep into the
realm of Desktop Publishing? And not clear the work it would require is
justified.

IIUC we work simply with spacing derived from font metrics, with some limited
ability in GUI to adjust glyph kerning, or apply kashida, for intraword spacing

Paragraph justification works against the margin settings to distribute word
spacing, and revise hyphenation when needed.

While "register true" is applied at the page margins to assure paragraph lines
align page to page.

Who knows, perhaps some HarfBuzz magic?
