Missing character (U+202F) 'NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE'

[ksesong]

This character is expected in some languages, particularly in French, as described on this page.

Please provide a real-life example where Plex is misbehaving in this regard and that can be reproduced.

The fact that the glyph in question does not exist in the font does not by definition mean that it will not be rendered. There are environments that use fallback fonts in this case, or synthesize these kinds of spaces by themselves.

I came across this issue when I tried to create a subset of the font for heavy optimization in webpages, using subfont for example. A webpage used the NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE character, but it was missing from the initial font glyphs, so the subsetting did not succeed, and the fallback font will always be used because of it.

I accept that this is quite a niche use case, and that this might even be more an issue of the subsetting software than of the font itself. Feel free to close the issue if you think this is the case.

@vpicone Unless the symbol was added, (it does not appear to be) then this was closed in error and still needs to be added.

@techdragon the issue is noted on our side. Priority is pretty low though for the reasons stated above.
