Description
The narrow no-break space character (U+202F) is not rendered properly with Qt (I tried on GNU/Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7).
I did some testing and found that no Qt app displays this char properly (it displays nothing, see attachment for some screenshots).
I think this is an issue in Qt's layout engine (it works with GTK apps on any OS and with other free frameworks I tested).
The narrow no-break space char was introduced with Unicode 3.0 (1999) and it's used, at least in French, before ";?!»" chars and after "«".
So this bug really is a problem for French translators (currently we have to fallback to no-break spaces).
Please, make Qt catch up with competitors and allow Qt apps to have good French translations!
(I don't know why the former bug was closed as "out of scope", no comment was added)
