How does the XML engine render white space between words ?
I'm using unicode in XML text fields. I should expect larger whitespace between inuktitut words (http://www.berniera.com) than in English or French. Despite all CSS changes done, I still get the same space as in English and French.

Have you tried setting letter and word spacing properties?http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#spacing-props
Is is possible to obtain the font?

I tried that, without any success. It seems all letters are rendered in that Pigiarniq font, but the whitespace is not. It renders as if it was Heveltica or Times...
Here is a place to download the font :http://www.assembly.nu.ca/unicode/fonts/

Found a fix. The Inuktitut template was using the core.css in the standard design folder. I made an override by moving it to the inuktitut template folder, change the default font to Pigiarniq, and voila!
The system was using the core.css default in the standard folder, which was using Verdana as the default font for everything.
