 Description

This collects some issues with text regions observed in 7561

spurious whitespace (the space between e and : can't be deleted, there is no space character. (example taken from german version of Getting Started, section "Formeln in Textbereichen")

if copied to clipboard and pasted here as image, the formatting is correct:

The whitespace issue is reproducible on my end too. Good catch on the clipboard/paste behavior, it’s helpful to know the formatting of positive z words survives in that case.

The heart of Slice Master lies in the power of precision. It’s not just about cutting objects randomly—it’s about knowing when to time your slices for maximum effect. Every level brings new objects, tricky placements, and clever designs that force you to adapt and sharpen your skills.

I don't see any evidence in the wikipedia entry for french spacing that this might mean significant space between the end of a word and a punctuation mark. I also don't see that this might be common in English.

The article mentions THIN space between a word and a following tall punctuation mark, but the remainder of the article focuses on the amount of space between a punctuation mark (end of a sentence) and the next word. I don't see how that is related to the highlighted feature in the screenshot. The space between Textbereiche and : is of at least the same size as between the words, thus it can't be called THIN.

If someone wants to have this, he can type a space there, but don't enforce it, please.

It's not a bug, it's a feature called french spacing. It is the default in some languages such as English but it looks odd in German. Technically it is kerning not a space character thus it's correct to omit it when converting to fixed width fonts.

Could you make this default=off when using other languages than English?
