Hi everyone,

I've a small mystery on my hands. When displaying text in the Italic Garamond font via an NSLayoutManager that has screen fonts disabled the horizontal space allocated for a normal space (good old 0x20) is too large.


I found a similar issue that doesn't involve screen fonts but rather non-breaking spaces. In Hoefler Text, they are about three times as wide as a normal space. It's the only font I've found with that behavior. I filed a bug (4633146), thinking it was a problem with the font, but the bug was closed without action; I can't remember exactly why, but they said it was not an issue with the font.
